Hi , I have the below questions can someone help me clarify ?
1) Does international student needs SAT score ?
2) Do we need to submit transcripts and if yes which grades do we need for student applying from India ?
3) Do we need to take any language proficiency test ?
Thanks
Hi, I am in the same boat as you are so I think I can help you out:
1) This depends on the place you wish to apply to. Some are test-optional so you will not need a SAT score but others will require you to submit a SAT score. Check with all the intended institutions you wish to apply to. You will however most likely have to show your proficiency in English through for example a TOEFL IBT, Duolingo Test etc. - personally I would go for a TOEFL IBT - in fact I just did mine today.
2) Your school will have to submit your transcript - usually through the common application or the coalition app. This will cover your entire high-school time.
3) see 1): yes, almost all colleges / universities will require it, waiver conditions will vary broadly from IB HL English with 4 or more points, medium of instruction being English etc. if you plan to apply to several places this might quickly become difficult - a commonly accepted test will make things easier. I have not found an institution on my list that will not accept a TOEFL IBT so I assume most if not all will accept that.
