Standardized Tests
 

U.S. universities set their own admission procedures and requirements.  As a part of the application process, most American colleges will require you submit scores from one of the standardized admission tests given in the U.S.  There are some colleges and universities that do not require international applicants to take admissions tests, and some schools do not ask for admission test scores from any applicant.  Visit the individual university websites to find specific admission test requirements.
