@DualBAapplicant Hey, I’m a 1A in Reims 
About your question concerning standardized tests - I have a friend from Austria who was also a very good student (she got in) and she did not have great SAT scores for the same reason that you were describing. I think it doesn’t matter all that much because they know that the SAT is difficult for non-American students. Also, since the program is small, you can be sure that they will really be looking carefully at your application, so your SAT scores will only be one item in your application. So overall, don’t worry about it too much!
