No AP: no chance?

^^timed out,
a small number of colleges do not even require SAT’s but instead analyze your grades, essays and teacher letters of recommendation to determine if you sound like a good fit for their campus.

I say that in case youi’re in a place that doesn’t have SAT’s for you to take.
Old CC threads on Parents Forum mention “SAT-optional schools.”

My hope is that you can go somewhere to take the SAT’s or ACT’s, however; you’ll have more choices that way. Try to take SAT-II’s also; some schools require them, but even if they don’t you can report the scores if they turn out well or find a place to mention them in a short-answer question or “is there anything else you’d like to tell us” question on your application Only mention SAT-II scores if they’re GOOD, otherwise you don’t have to report them. If you’re only in 10th or 11th grade this year, there’s still time to take SAT=II’s, while the information is fresh at the end of each course you think you do well.

The SAT-II’s are on specific academic subject areas (Chemistry, Calculus, History, specific Languages, etc), unlike SAT-I’s (Reading, Math, Writing). I bet you already knew this. I’m writing too long.
Good night and good luck!
