Additionally, he pointed out that it would be helpful if there was a standard Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) programme in Guyana, since in order to be accepted at these schools, applicants must write the SAT in addition to completing the common application, writing an essay and other requirements. The process of application has a December 31 annual deadline, Low noted.
And while he admits that he didn’t have the highest SAT marks, Low pointed out his acceptance was not merely linked to good grades, but rather the fact that the schools are known to accept people based on “you as an individual…on a holistic basis. They look at your extra-curricular activities, so students need not be discouraged if you are not the highest achiever.”

You are saying that we have to come to GNI and read to learn about college grants?

Maybe you should do some more investigation into this story and into college grants and then educate us. Since when SATs are taken in Guyana?

The fella did not say he took the SAT in Guyana

.

Correct Ray, How will the average poor Guyanese sit the SAT?

Buy a holiday visa, then stay in a hotel, and study for the SAT?
Also, isn't SAT only offered through US high schools?


The chap must be commended on his good fortune but it is not going to happen to the average Guyanese.

Sad that he took away a scholarship from a more deserving low income person, the Low family are money people. He would have been more deserving of an academic scholarship, however with fraud in Guyana, it is quite possible that all his grade1's were the result of bribery.
