AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a new forum member preparing for their 'O' levels in Singapore while also taking the SATs, including the SAT reasoning test, Mathematics Level 2, and Physics. They seek information on whether the SATs alone are sufficient for admission to a university like Caltech. Responses emphasize the importance of reviewing the admissions requirements on Caltech's website, noting that top schools typically require SAT Subject Tests in addition to the SAT. Furthermore, it is highlighted that meeting the minimum requirements is not enough for admission, as the competition is intense and additional qualifications are necessary for a successful application.
