ok thank you. Ive edited my list as i realised that ill be applying to test-optional schools as when i took a practise test i did awful and so my application wouldnt benefit from a SAT score, and i won’t have enough time to fully prepare for the SAT (if it’s not cancelled). For reference, i don’t like beaches and i don’t necesserily want to go to uni on the beach i just meant on the east coast. I have talked to my parents and they said they could afford a US education, so that isn’t a worry for me.
I research unis way more than just lifestyle choices, i understand what it means to be committed to one university for 4 years. I won’t be applying to any ivies, UMass Amherst or USC anymore as they’re not test optional, but that doesnt bother me as it was unlikely i would get in there anyway, and none of them were high on my list anyways.
My personal preference has always been US study for many personal reasons that i find it hard to explain, and i’m academically motivated and would love to attend a good university with lots of motivated students, not just a university ‘by the beach’.
