Hi There,

Foreign universities consider many factors before admitting a candidate. Your SAT score depends on the national average. As per the statistics, the year 2018 had an average score of 1068. So how much should you score? If your score is well above this average, the more likely it is for you to get the college of your choice.

Even if a candidate scores below this average number, it can be compensated by a standout college application. So what should a college application entail?

Your college application should traverse through your high school career path. Good grades, achievements, extracurricular activities, etc., Therefore, your Pre-RMO is certainly an achievement, so yes it can be added to your college application.

But even if you into a college with a low score some colleges might ask you to enroll in some courses initially (to test the college readiness of a candidate).

Now, extracurricular activities play an important part in your college application as the admission officer’s critiques them thoroughly. It is solely done to know a candidate better, their personality and the things that they care about. Extra curricular activities usually involve any volunteer work, leadership qualities (if you were the school captain or something along those lines).

Talking about the safe score, we shouldn’t just depend on making our college application perfect. Your score on the standardized tests is as much important as other factors, so do no neglect that. The higher your score, the better are your chance of you getting the college of your choice. Usually, the colleges accept candidates that have a score between the 25 ^th and 75 ^th percentile.
