SAT, is it a necessity?

I did some research on German University yesterday and found one particular university quite appealing. It is Jacobs University Bremen. Unlike most German University, this university is fully international, meaning that most of the academic activity is done in English. Well, there is no German proficiency requirement imposed by this university. One of their 3 year undergraduate programme is quite appealing. Earth and Space Science. However, the university is asking for American SAT.

I'm not sure whether I should take the American SAT. When I told big sis about it, she told me to drop the idea. Thinking about it SAT might be able to be used as a mean of retreat, in case plan B failed again. I have no intention to stay in Singapore anyway. I hate the elitist system where everything is about grades. It seems that I need to talk about it with Mr Yeo once the college re-open.

I don't really care about university ranking now. Since the rank is determined by mostly what is related with graduate programmes such as research, facilities and the achievement of the staffs. Since big-name professors are very unlikely to teach undergraduates, it is pointless to fight for it. As long as the undergraduate degree is recognised worldwide, it is enough.
