<p>As an international student who needs a significant amount of aid, I have no real idea what to do anymore. I’ve taken the SAT twice and gotten a top single sitting of 2100 (1450 M+CR) and done the ACT once and gotten a 32 with SAT subjects of (790M2 and 760 Chem) and personally I dont think these scores are strong enough (my councellor says to take the SAT 3 times max). I go to a top school in my country and do above average there but i think that these multiple choice tests just dont suit me. What can i do?</p>
<p>Though international students face stiff competition, 2100 is a solid score for second-tier schools. It all depends on what school you’re trying to enter.</p>
<p>I would not take it again. It is wasting your time and money. It sounds like you’ve topped out, so it’s pointless to try to chase a number.</p>
<p>Well I’ll mainly be applying to the top schools (quite a few ppl from my school have gotten into them particularly over the past 2 years including HYP) Georgetown, NYU, Lesser ivies , Duke, Chicago, JHU, Vanderbilt, mabe USC (but i hear they have no aid) etc. basically top school i can get aid from and i come from an english-speaking country so i guess my scores are somewhat less acceptable</p>
