美国的大学录取过程有其特殊性,不是一个“考”的概念。其SAT考试类似中国的高考,但只是整个录取决策中的一部分。 8 J$ A' [* i4 F1 j9 Q& N, F& O1 o' v0 A* l+ X7 F1 w F
美国之外的很多国家,在签证时要求提供中国高考成绩,是出于质量控制的考虑。这点在美国本科签证时不存在,因为你有托福和SAT成绩。; T4 B7 `1 K: c

It's somehow like when you chase a girl, her decision-making is gonna be very complex, random and unpredictable. , k) h, [+ r. j8 P # D& X1 C/ h. V, nIf the girl declines you with "come on, it's not the right time for love now...", you may not intepret it as it sounds. The underlying puzzle might be that your attraction is not enough, or you appeared to be too agressive... Who knows? The morale is, NEVER trust VO's explanations as you shall never believe the Girl's execuses. They are EXECUSES.

Additionally, many high schools prohibit you to register the exam once you indicat your intention of overseas college application. I also know many college juniors apply and it's also impossible for them to provide the concurrent EXAM score. Furthermore, considering the diverse scoring scale in different provinces in China, it's almost impossible for a VO to have any other sense about the score besides seeing a lifeless number. * K- A7 t- o.
