What is the SAT scores minimum required for an international student?
Hello ! I have just received my TOEFL and SAT scores, I have applied to the University of Texas at Austin and to the College of William and Mary. My scores are : TOEFL = 87 / 120 SAT = 1390 / 2400 My SAT scores may be lower than the average, but I have a strong application (volunteer work in Africa and in different music festivals, sports, artistic skills, Latin and Greek studies and I speak French, Dutch and English... and I come form Europe with a green card) Do you think that I can hope to be admitted to one of those universities ? One more question : I sent my official transcripts 3-4 weeks ago from Belgium to US, and they are still in progress (and I totally don't know when they will arrive); I have already scanned and sent them to the universities, but it is not the "official" way... Do you think that it might not incline in my favor ? Thank a lot !

Most schools don't have a minimum.... but yes, your SAT score is a bit low. UT Austin and CWM are both competitive schools and they will be looking for scores closer to 2000, but you may be able to make up for your low scores if your grades are excellent. If you really want to go to school in the United States, you should look into some less competitive schools. You HAVE to send your transcripts the official way. They will not look at your application if you have sent scanned copies of your transcripts.
