what nationality r u? what field are you hoping to go into?

As far as tests... generally the only thing you have to take is the SAT I and score at least 1200.

 

The fee (called tuition here) averages about $10,000/year for public school, and 25000-30000/year at a private school.

However, you should always check with whatever school you wish to apply to for details about exactly what you need as part of your application- it will vary some on a school by school basis.

I am from Malaysia and i would like to get in chemistry field.

So which U is good at chem?

[BrainMan]

What I would suggest is start by looking at where your grades fall, what you might predict your test scores to be, and how much money you might have to spend- along with size of university you want, location, ect.- and focus in on jus those schools. These are more important than looking for a specific program- as most chemistry programs for undergraduates will look the same. From there, then you can apply to the most attractive schools (or whatever you think you can get into) based, in part, on what the program looks like- what the exact requirements are for the degree, what opportunities for research or participation are available for undergraduates, ect. just narrow down your school choice generally first, and then start looking at the chemistry departments from the fewer choices you have left.

Thanks.

 

If it is Canada, what kind of exam I have to sit for?

[Neurocomp2003]

nothing....CANADA doesn't require you to take anything other than the TOEFL.(which you need to take if your planning to go to the states)

 

if you've taken the SAT for the states then you can use that for canadian schools but all they look for are your grades and extra-curricular stuff

Not necessarily true. Me and a couple of my friends didn't get a 1200 and we still got in to a very good University. I mean, it's no M.I.T. or Carnegie Mellon or Harvard or anything, but University of Pittsburgh is fairly recognized (especially its Medical Score).

 

By the way, I got a 1150 on my SAT's and I don't mind telling people. The SAT are just a indicator of a)what you learned in high school and b) how well you will do your first year of college. Not a indicator of intelligence (though I suppose there is probably some correlation) or how well you will do in college overall.

 

I just love it when I get better grades than my other college classmates, with their over 1300 SAT scores.

 

Either you work hard in college or you don't...

Im not exactly sure of the tuition, but for chemistry you might check out Michigan Technological University (MTU). They have an incredible chemical operations plant there. Im not sure of its exact function but I was assured that it is a top-of-the-line very technological research facility.
