Question
I'm international student and I'm willing to enroll to Univ of Washington, UC Irvine, Case Western Reserve Univ and Ohio State Univ. I have an SAT score of 1710 (470 Critical Reading, 570 Writing and 670 Math). Also I have an average GPA of about 3,6 - 3,75 and TOEFL iBT score of 97. Is this will be enough for these univ? If not - what should I improve, or maybe should I try find another universities to try to enroll to?
PS. I am going to take Math II and Physics II, and maybe US History II.
Thanks.
Your reading score is low for a lot of colleges and that could be a problem. Schools will be interested in the courses you have taken and your test scores in particular. Are you going to need financial aid? These seem like random schools to choose and I wonder how you decided on them? You might check to see if they all require subject tests and if they don't. I would suggest you take the SAT I test again in December after some practice on the reading section.
