Hi guys?

You know, I mentioned it long time ago, I want to have 2 job in future.
One is CG Designer, right?
Well. So I wonder.
I am a Korean, And I'm living in Korea now.

But there is no chance for someone who want to be CG Designer who design CG of the movies such as Alien, D-War, or maybe Symbiote Of Spider-Man.
Well, maybe there is a little chance. But I want to go to college in USA.
But I don't know what is the college where I should go.

And Would you guys mind helping me?
There are no friends such as you guys.

I'm trying to find some imformation about SAT.
But I can't find something about the college for CG Designer.
Please help me.

Oh well, I'm 17 years old anyways.

You better act fast. Foreigners also need to take the ACT. Most Koreans come to New York because there are better oppurtunities here, and you would probably end up in Flushing or Korean Town, aka 34st Manhattan. Check out the Art Institute of New York, AI for short. You're most likely going to need a portfolio. Good Luck.

Two jobs sounds tough. One might end up stressing you out a whole lot, making it difficult toi work on the other.

Where, exactly?

Oh well,
Would you explain what is ACT, please? lol.. And I'm not living in America, living in Korean now.

The ACT simply put, is an exam that you need to take before going to an American College. The exam tests your knowledge of English, Math, Reading and Science.

Students of the Vancouver Film School in Canada put out a lot of great quality CG.

I will repeat what I said; I know of no university which requires both the SAT I and ACT.

I know that art colleges prefer ACT over SAT, but it doesn't really matter. There is also some other foreign test foreign people have to take.

The TOEFL? In general, international students don't have to take it; it is simply an option to demonstrate English fluency if they are not good enough at English to score highly on the critical reading section(s) of the SAT I/ACT.

Actually, You're always asked for the TOEFL. At least in the universities I wanted to go required the TOEFL. Hell even an art school in Costa Rica required it for some odd reason.

It's either that or you spend a whole semester wasting your time proving that you know english until they accept you.

Strange.. most of the places I've seen will take the standard requirements for native English speakers if you prefer to submit them (example).

I am non native english speaker, thus, they required me to take the TOEFL. I didn't know you could just take the SAT or ACT. It would probably be just harder, though.

It definitely would be, considering that most native speakers still do pretty bad on the reading and writing sections of the SAT.

They're not really all that hard, if you take it upon yourself to learn vocabulary and the more nuanced rules of grammar like parallel structure and extended pronoun references.

... Hell, even I don't know what that is .

Well, good luck.

Wow, VFS is really cool place. but I consider money..
I'm afraid but there's too expensive for me to pay. $52750 for 1 year..!
Thus, would you mind recommend another place?
I've kept finding some art colleges, but I'm not sure where is exactly I should go.

oh, and guys. Would you mind explain math level 1??
idk what is level 1 or 2. I searched about it on Google, but it confusing me, now. yea.

Thanks to everybody, anyways.

P.S. If there are some wrong grammar, could you fix the improper grammar for me?

The SAT II Math Level 1 is math up to essentially Geometry. Math Level 2 covers Algebra II advanced concepts, up to elementary questions regarding matrix algebra and complex analysis (don't worry about these, according the released tests on average 10-30% of test takers get these right). In California, for example, Math Level 1 covers through the 9th grade math standard, and Math Level 2 through the 10th grade math standard.

In my opinion, the Level 2 test is a decent evaluation of your mathematics education excluding calculus, whereas the Level 1 test is a silly joke. Some colleges, such as MIT, claim to weight each test equally, but "in the context of your coursework" i.e. if you had not completed a course in Algebra II and Trigonometry when you took the SAT II, you would not be penalized for the Math Level 1 test. Other schools, such as the University of California, accept only the Level 2 test.

If you have really any decent skill in math, I would recommend taking the Level 2 test.

Hah, that's why becoming a teacher will be a lot more simple.
