<p>hey guys i am a japanese american currently attending an international school in japan…</p>
<p>i was born in the states but i had to come here cuz of my parents’ job.</p>
<p>so here is my current stat: SAT 1: 1990 Reading 660 Math 690 Writing 640 </p>
<p>and my SAT2: Japanese 800 and World History 600</p>
<p>I have october and november test dates to improve my chances and i dont know whether i should take the SAT1 twice or SAT2 on november.</p>
<p>Personally, i would feel more comfortable taking the SAT1 twice because it is def more important, but some people tell me that a japanese american taking a japanese test in japan and getting a 600 on World History will be frowned upon…is this true?</p>
<p>I ONLY HAVE FEW DAYS TO MAKE THIS DECISION SO PLEASE HELP ME!</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>also fyi, im thinking about applying early decision to one of the top LACs like Haverford, Carleton, or Wesleyan.</p>
<p>Some schools have specific requirements for SAT subject tests. Some want to see math and science. Taking SAT I two more times (for a total of 3) is not that productive. It is better to take a study course than to take it twice.</p>
<p>Do you have the Dec test dates in Japan? Many schools will take the December tests.</p>
<p>What is your family ready, willing, and able to pay for your education? If they can’t pay the full Cost of Attendance minus your student loans ($5,500 frshman year), then don’t apply anywhere early decision. This also has the advantage of giving you more time to sort through the whole ACT/SAT/SATII issue.</p>
<p>What advice are you getting from the closest advising center of [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.EducationUSA.state.gov%5DEducationUSA”>http://www.EducationUSA.state.gov) ? I would expect that some of those counselors have worked with US citizens before, and can give you a hand with all of this.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
