So, today I'll be arriving at exactly 16:05 at the Suvarnabhumi Airport (if no delays are made). And my flight from Bangkok to Istanbul is scheduled to depart at 23:50. That leaves me with 7 hours and 45 minutes between the flights.

The baggages are checked through, so I wouldn't have a problem with them.

I have a Turkish passport, and supposedly Thailand is visa-free for me. Are there any additional documents that I need to fill before arriving and passing the immigration?

I just want to take a few pictures, see the vibes of the city, and eat a meal. Do you think this time will be enough to do these activities?

Also, could you guys maybe give an estimate about how long the passport and airport controls will take? And if I do exit the airport, how early should I return for the flight?

Thank you

I am an international student from Turkiye and I am currently aiming to study industrial engineering, or mechanical engineering, or maybe electrical engineering. I am perfectly okay with the Math section of the SAT but I kind of struggle with the R&W part, as English is not my first language and I self-study.

I took the May SAT and got a 1510. 710 R&W and an 800 Math.

I had also took the March SAT and got a 1430. 650 R&W and a 780 Math.

I know that my 1510 can be adequate for almost every school -in the US or anywhere else. However, I am concerned if my score would be fitting for the top schools. For my intended major, as far as I am aware high SAT scores are expected and they are not the only qualification needed to get accepted to a school. My ECs or honors are not THAT strong, so I am wondering if I should focus more on my academis and maybe try to compensate with them.

I would love to go to a school in US and I have considered many. As far as I know, there are pretty good universities that I can get accepted to. But I have dreams like every other people.

I would love to go to a college in a big city, like NYC or LA (it has been my dream since childhood to go New York btw). For NYC, I'm almost certain that I cannot go to Columbia, but I've thought that I maybe can go to NYU Tandon.

I didn't actually consider applying to Ivies or schools like Stanford or MIT, since I thought that my chances are slim to none. Maybe if I get a 1560+, my perspectives would change.

Also, I am not in need of financial aid. And the exam fee for SAT is not a problem for me.

My biggest concern is that I have scored my best R&W at the actual SAT. In the prep tests that I've took my best was 660ish I guess. I would be devastated if I'd scored less than my previous tests. I also had done ZERO studying for the SAT since May.

I am currently studying for YKS, my country's university entrance exam. I am also considering to going to a college in my country if I do not meet my goals abroad.

I am sorry if I seem stubborn or not grateful. I am absolutely grateful with my score but I have wondered if I could've improved my score and my chances.
