Hey! I'm in a similar situation as you are rn. I'm from Malaysia and also in my final year of highschool. I intend to pursue my studies in the USA. Currently seeking available scholarships too.

Most state universities don't require Act and Sat if you're looking for any university or college, Just focus on GPA and finding your extracurriculars that most fit you, if it's a sport, club, or hobby.

Sat and act is not necessary. I think this year is test optional for Sat and act. Just get your GPA from your highschool

Hi, I have a friend in your situation as well. She got a full ride to a university here. I think colleges would be willing to work with you and help you figure out what to do. What I would do is I would look at your favorite colleges in the USA and then email their admissions offices explaining your situation. Many colleges will be quite helpful.
