The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #14:

I am a foreign student interested in applying to an American school. My GPA is 3.9, I am a member of the National Honor Society, and am in the top 10% of my school. My ACT scores are: English=15, Math=28, Reading=19, Science=20. My SAT scores are: Math=720, Verbal=350. What are my chances of getting into a competitive school ?

Answer #14:

The best thing you can do to help gain admission to a competitive school is bring up your standardized test scores in English and Verbal sections. You appear to be a promising student, but if you don't meet international student requirements in English, you will have to wait to gain admission. Contact the schools to ask what they require and how your numbers compare with their general applicant pool. Be aware that your college essay will be a very important part of your application because it will highlight your use of the written language. EDUFAX provides services for the International Applicant.
