How can a foreigner gain admission into an American College/University?
What requirements are there for foreigners looking to get in to an American college(preferably a science course)? Will the SAT reasoning test as well as a few other SAT subject tests(Biology, Chemistry, possibly Maths) be sufficient? If not, what will one need? School results are probably out. Extra-Curricula activities and community service are areas that can be fulfilled easily. What about scholarships of any form?
Many Thanks.
Does the TOEFL apply to all foreign students? America and the UK are not the only English-speaking countries out there; it sure would be insulting to have to take it as a 'foreign' language when it really is my first. =P

You apply by filling out the application, like anyone else. You have to fulfill all of the same requirements as everyone else, plus as a foreign student, you will have one additional requirement for admission - the TOEFL. That's the "test of English as a foreign language".
Requirements to obtain your visa are another story. You will have to show evidence of ties to your country, and prove that you intend to return at the end of your education. You will also have to show evidence of where your financial support will be coming from, and that it will be available for the entire duration of your education. You'll have to show how you intend to pay your tuition (financial aid is not an option for you.) You will also have to show how you will pay your living expenses. Keep in mind that you can not work on a student visa.

Just apply. The Universities in New York are FULL of foreign students- many more so than native born ones.

Apply to the University of your choice. If you are accepted then you will get a visa to study there.
Money is another issue. You may get some financial help, but be prepared to pay for your own education.
