I was wondering, in high school, colleges or universities in the states, do the students have to bid/compete for the classes that they want? I was thinking if I should study overseas instead because the system in my country works that way : we all have to bid and compete to get the classes that I want.
In my high school, there are more students than spaces offered for any single class.
For example, Spanish is a hard class to get into. Most everyone wants it, but they only have so many seats/spaces in Spanish classes. The person (usually the oldest) who needs the class first to graduate will usually get it.
There is no bidding in any public institution in the United States. That's against the law.
