<p>hello!
im a girl from croatia (ex-yugoslavia, [WWW.HR</a> - About Croatia](<a href=“WWW.HR - Početna stranica Hrvatske”>WWW.HR - Početna stranica Hrvatske)) and I attend the ib programme in a competitive school. im ranked in top 15%, 35-37 pts, i established mun and debate teams in my school, i was 5th on a national competition in french, in 9th grades i was in handball natioanl team and now i play soccer (recruitment) and basketball, voluntary work,and many other acitivites such as european youth parliament and yearbook, working for a month (40hrs/week) and will have pretty good recommendations.
i took sats 2, french and world history and got 660 (disappointing). i wont take the sat1 due to lack of time.
i’m looking for a liberal arts colleges that offer a need-based FA to ints.
i think croatia is underrepresented so i think this could be a plus as well.</p>
<p>i found mount holoyke college and i like it. do i have any chance?</p>
<p>can u suggest me any women’s colleges with a liberal atmosphere on the campus and of course that i stand a chance?</p>
<p>“The SAT I or ACT is required for students being instructed in English. The TOEFL or IELTS are required for students being instructed in a language other than English.”
since i do tbe ib school (in english) i guess it applies to me.</p>
<p>yes, at most schools you would then be required to take the SAT I or the ACT. Though I as Smith and MHC are apparently “test optional” I am not sure if this would apply?</p>
<p>My mistake. I didn’t realize Smith was only test-optional for US residents. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any other women’s colleges that were SAT I optional. Bryn Mawr would take three SAT IIs but I assume if you don’t have time for the SAT I you don’t have time to take a third subject test.</p>
<p>Hi luluzg, I’m not a girl but I’d say that the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I, formerly) is a very basic test that any international student should take if they want a decent chance to get in anywhere. With the IB, the Subject Tests are even less important (or maybe not). I know you don’t have time, but whatever little time you have, you should consider using it to prepare for the Reasoning Test. Even one month is enough to do this. </p>
<p>Anyway, I know for sure that Connecticut College is test optional, even for internationals. You should check the website, though, as this might have changed, but of course, this is not a women’s college. Nevertheless, MHC is worth a shot; definitely apply.</p>
<p>You could also try Sarah Lawrence College which is completely test optional (they don’t even look at scores) and has some financial aid for internationals.</p>
