<p>@atlanta33: considering how you’ll be treated during admissions; it’s all the same save for one exception. You’ll have to take the TOEFL, and colleges might overlook an unimpressive SAT in favor of a stronger TOEFL score. ahappyaccident is right with what you need to prepare. I don’t exactly know your level of English, so I can’t offer specific advice except for maybe take a practice SAT test, let us know how it was, and then maybe we can help you based on where you are.</p>
