Are international students’ scores lower than US students’ scores in general, particularly regarding the SAT…
I mean I got 650 reading/670 math/620 writing and amongst my classmates here (overseas), it is higher than any of theirs. In comparing my score to my friends in the United States, it appears to be slightly above average.

I’m in the IB program as well, so hopefully colleges put that into consideration when evaluating my application (my IB predicted score is good).

Do they also consider the fact that english may not be all applicants’ first language, but not make that a disadvantage for the student, but rather just take it into consideration?
