i wished that too.but i think its going to be hard..and thanks for caring . at least i know somebody cares for me :) thank you :)....well am a junior in high school and if i go to the dominicn republic and do my senior year overthere and come back for my freshmna year in college i think i will have to re-do my senior year here in the u.s.a and that is something i dont want to do.
what do you think? is there any website that can explain what i have to do. (link)
I think if you are unsure about the future, the best course of action would be to map out what you think should happen and what you think needs to be done. For instance, if you want to go to the Dominican Republic for your senior year and then back to the US after you graduate, you need to look at how the credits transfer and if your transcript from your high school would transfer to any university you wanted to attend. That would be the best place to start. You may find that it is in your best interest to finish your senior year in the US and then go to university somewhere else in the US. I would look at where you want to be and how viable it would be for you. The only way for you to be truly happy is to take your future into your hands and look maturely and responsibly into what could happen and what needs to happen.

As for websites, I would look up the information to whatever high school you were planning on attending for your senior year and asking them what their protocol would be for transferring credits. Get something in writing. Also, contact universities personally requesting information packets about what their policies are.

My advice, it would be easier to graduate from a US high school and attend a US college than to attend a high school in a different country and then transfer to a US university. It also depends on your citizenship. If you are not a US citizen, the international laws are much more complicated as to what you can do as a student. If you're American, of course, it's not as complicated.

Bottom line, do the research. You have to know what you're dealing with to make the decision. Don't make it on a whim. You'll be sorry about it later.

All the best of luck!
