You’re right, I think the different curriculum makes it much more difficult for us internationals. Colleges just need a way to judge academic capability on a single scale, so making every student take the SAT means everyone has at least a remotely equal chance. Still, it sucks. But think of it this way - if you study for it and do really well, I guess it looks pretty impressive since you’ve done all the work yourself and have put the effort in to adapt to the American system, right?
