hey people...jst wanted to ask a question
as i would be goin america next year for the 12th grade.
i'm doin british sylabus all this while, which is IGCSE and would graduate by next jun. so i plan to start grade 12 at the states at september, i was wondering would it be superhard for me as i've missed out the rest 11th years of american education. and would it be easier for me to enter good uni, or would it be harder. i plan to attend university of chicago for bussiness after my grade 12th...so i jst wanted to ask u guys whether its possible for me to do grade12 there n get into a good uni.thx

well, u can save a great deal of $$$, trust me... 2+2 is the best
not exactly... u must know d best way... which i will explain below
not exactly... i have been to berkeley, UCLA n stanford... if u enter their campus u will realise it is 40% international yellow skin students... no joke... but mostly these students are from US allied countries like japan, HK, taiwan

the best way to enter those elite unis in the west as in west coast is to enter community colleges 1st... then transfer credit in, that's the recommendation of most counsellors there...

UCs accept top 87.5% of their high school grads... wherelse CSUs accept top 70%... so if u really wanna enter... i would say enter a not so established UC or a good CSU... then transfer credit during ur 3rd year

top 87.5% of their percentile is not that hard.. whities.. if u score near straight As during SPM or pre-u ... then u should be able to cope ^^

hey. so i;m doing IGCSE now, mocks just finish, can i use the forecast results to apply to ommunity college 1st? then only go proper college after that? or do u mean i need to do idp 1st, then get into community college then go into uni?
thx btw dude, for giving me so much info
