[nabs-l] Fwd: [BANA-Announce] BrailleFormatsImplementationDateRelease

Fri May 25 17:21:24 UTC 2012

Hello,
I know if you are at a Community college here in the states you don't need 
to take any tests to transfer, as long as you get an AA degree. I have no 
idea about other colleges, but I highly doubt that you need to take the SAT 
or ACT.
My college, Foothill.edu has a fantastic foreign exchange program and I've 
not seen their disability resource center paralleled in quality anywhere. I 
highly recommend trying out this community college if you want to come to 
the states and study, or if you are in the bay area and want an awesome 
community college!
BTW, your English is much better than many natives, and except for a few 
little things like a missing "a" I couldn't tell you from a native...
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Yes Brandon, I do have this what we call it language efficiency test. I have
IELTS test score, a relatively high score anyway.

Do I still need to take SAT when I transfer?

Thank you.

Regards,
Crystal
