“The admissions office takes things like this into consideration, reviewing applicants individually. Don’t ever let someone tell you not to apply anywhere, just do it. Taking advice is alright, but these people do not hold and are not going to live your future for you so do not make your decisions based off of their biased opinions”

Thank you! I may retake all of my exams if I have to take a year off. Yes I think since I have the SAT IIs and the TOEFL to take on January, I have no choice: just save what is still savable.

“Are you eligible to study at a Canadian college where you can take courses in French as well as English? I was wondering if your strengths might be more apparent at universities particularly in the Province of Quebec”

Actually I have already been accepted to the POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL of Montreal which is a good one in Canada I think. I applied there when I was still in Senegal. Then I deferred my admission to fall 2009 because I wanted to attend a US college. I did not have to take the SAT or any exam to be accepted there, they just look at your stats at High school. Thus, as it was for that school, I thought I was going to be the same for the US college.>>we do not have our adviser is more focused on the French School application process so I did not enough information.<< Then I applied for a 14 weeks ESL program and finally got my F-1 VISA on September. Therefore I am actually still eligible for every school an international . Even when I got here I just learned that I had to take the SAT 20 days before the last exam available on 2008.Since my goal was to begin on fall 2009, I registered and ignored the important fact that I was not prepared.The result is automatic bad score. That is it.
