first, i have to make it clear that I'm a 'man' and.......
^^
thanks for your replies people~~^^
anyway~~
one of my got accepted into UCLA and UCBerkeley and his GPA was about 3.8 and his SAT score was low 1300s. He came from Korea about 2 years ago (to Virginia) and I wonder how he got into top UC schools. (well... he was one of my Genius friend and he was perfect in every class except English~~)
I think it's my second time to ask this question but,,,,
does UC schools give some extra credit to new-immigrant students????

--- How long did your friend from Korea get into Berkeley/UCLA? A few years ago it wasn't too difficult to get into either one with a 1300 SAT (as long as the rest of the package was good!) ---

I don't believe the UC's forgive new-immigrants as they are very "numbers-driven" and there is no extra bonus points from being from another country. If you have very high Toefl scores and low SAT scores, I'm sure the mid/lower UC's will forgive you.

While I don't want to point a finger at someone, but it seems that CSU (California State University), a tier lower than UC, tends to have more foreign students because they typically didn't score as well on the SAT as they should have because they weren't born here.

Hi guys

i have to take SAT 1 and SAT 2 ( 3 subjects...Physics, Chemistry and Maths level 2). Can i take all on the same day? I m from Lucknow in India. If i want to take one subject test and SAT 1 on same date is it possible. Collegeboard site says that i can't take SAT1 and subject test under same administration?
Are there more than one administration on same day or do they change only on next date? my email ID is rush2pawan@yahoo.co.in

ThanX
