Do international students need to take the SAT and TOEFL to study in the US?

Question

I am from Colombia and would like to do grad school in the United States. It seems in order to study I need to take the SAT and TOEFL exams? Is this correct or does it depend on the university?

Answer 1

The SAT is actually only for undergraduate study, so if you're applying to graduate school, you definitely don't need to take the SAT. You most likely will have to take the GRE, a similar test for graduate students. Some schools do not require the GRE, but this is relatively rare. You can check with the individual schools you're interested in. You will almost definitely need to take the TOEFL (or IELTS). This is required by almost every school if you are an international student.
