Where could I apply?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Ok, I'm an international student from Finland, trying to figure out where to apply. I haven't done my SAT's yet, but after trying it few times with the SAT prep books at work, I got around 450-550 from each section. I'm trying to improve all of them at least up to 600, hopefully even higher (Don't know about SAT II's tho). I just haven't had time to actually study properly yet... So when I do, it shouldn't be too hard to improve em after like 2 months of studying.</p>

<p>One problem is that my country does not give honors and awards the way U.S. or other countries do, so that kinda puts me in a bad light when applying for some schools... I've done many courses in high school tho; Including Finnish, English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Math, Biology, Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Philosophy, Art, PE, IT, Religion, Music, History, Social studies and so on...</p>

<p>I'm aiming for the Architecture program and my GPA is around 3.2, which is kinda bad but... Blah :/</p>

<p>I got 2 years of working experience during summers as a CSR, but I guess that doesn't really matter when applying for architecture, does it? :P And... I've done volunteering for WWF for the past 7 years.</p>

<p>I guess that's all the info I can give right now, thank you all in advance.</p>

<p>You could probably get in at a lot of schools assuming you do reach your goal of around 600 on each section of the SAT, not the elite schools but a solid state school is well with-in your reach. Something like the University of Iowa would probably admit you no problem... If you have a particular area of the country in mind, I could give you a few suggestions.</p>

<p>Do you think I have any chances in the University of Texas - Austin? I am really going to study a lot once I'm done with my A-levels which are in one month (after that I got time till November and December to study) and see how everything goes...</p>

<p>//EDIT: And... Well, I would prefer the southern, warm areas... Just kinda sick of the weather in where I live atm, I want some change -_-</p>

<p>Austin is a possibility, worth applying for sure. </p>

<p>In that area of the country, Texas Tech is a decent school that you should be able to get into without much trouble, plus it does have architecture. </p>
