sorry if this has been asked before...im a british student hoping to attend USC as a freshman in fall 2010...do i need to take the SAT test, this is what i found on the USC website but i dont really understand not being familliar with the american system yet:
SAT and ACT
USC requires either SAT or ACT scores (with the optional Writing test) from:
* All freshman applicants attending high school in the United States (recommended for students in Canada)
* All freshman applicants who attend overseas American or international schools that follow the U.S. education system
* Any other freshman applicant who would like to be considered for merit scholarships
* Transfer students who have accumulated fewer than 30 transferable semester units since finishing high school
* For students who take the SAT more than once, USC records the highest scores for each section – Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing -- even if achieved in different sittings. For students taking the ACT, USC will record the highest composite score.
SAT Subject Tests
We only require SAT Subject tests from freshman applicants who do not attend a regionally accredited high school (e.g., home school, some non-accredited parochial or community based programs, even some newer schools). These students must submit three SAT Subject exams, including one in mathematics. For all other applicants, these exams are optional, but recommended. We find them helpful in evaluating applications for merit scholarships.
im not after a scholarship though if that changes anything?
thank you
