Unfortunately i did bad at school here, but am currently repeating maths. What are my chances, especially after living in Australia all my life. I am 19 now. Do you require high grades or passes to apply or can you take tests to determine your eligibility and if so, what are the tests like, mathematically. In Aus here, you cannot even apply unless you have passes in maths, physics and two other subjects at yr 12 (last yr of school) level. oh yeah, I am going to the US in a month for a few months to investigate in person.
