Can an American citizen but Philippine high school graduate go to college in the USA
Can an American citizen but Philippine high school graduate go to college in the USA?
American citizen who started her education in the USA, moved to the Philippines after 6th grade to start 1st year in a private, Catholic high school, wants to go back to America for college. Do I have to go back to high school in America (high school in the Philippines is only 4 years long) or am I limited to a college that accepts foreign students only?

High School in America is 4 years long as well.... just a side note for ya.
2 :
you have to take an assessment test at the school you're applying for so they'll know what year level to accept you in. otherwise you can directly apply to the university you want to enter and ask for their admission requirements. take it from there. good luck
3 :
I have just spent time looking at online application for North Texas State University where my wife wants to go and there is a longish section on citizenship and various choices there. But the first question is "Are you a U.S. Citizen?" and if you answer yes, you skip all the rest. With an American birth certificate in hand, you are a citizen. American high school is only 4 years long, after 8 years of elementary although in some systems 7 & 8 are called Junior High or Middle School which may also apply to 7, 8 & 9 with labeled high schools in that district offering 10, 11, 12. If you started Philippine High School after 6th grade and only took a total of 10 years of school, then the colleges would want to look closely at what you had.
4 :
A lot will depend on the college. Like any student trying to get into college, you'd have to have grades good enough for the college, probably need to take those SAT's (whatever the kids take these days) and get a high enough level on them, put in your application, write the essays, do the interviews and hope the college will accept you. Your best bet would be to go online and look at the colleges you are interested in, review what they requirements are, send for an application and brochure. If you like the college a lot, you can probably set up a phone interview to talk to an admissions counselor to see what you'd have to do.

To be completely honest, yes, people will stare at you, and find it weird, especially high school students-they can be evil. Try wearing shoes, pants and shirt.
2 :
Ha, woobles. xD This question made my day.
3 :
no wear jeans and a t- shirt NOT a toga whatever that is
4 :
You can wear whatever you want, but it isn't Halloween. Just remember that people will never forget you in your TOGA. You'll be at a party or something and someone will laugh.
5 :
I don't think you should wear a toga only because you might be stared at or made fun of and that's the last thing you want when you are new to a school and new to the U.S.A. If togas are what you normally wear and feel comfortable in, then I think the closest things to those that would be acceptable here are white summer dresses. Buy a lot of white, yellow, and beige dresses and wear those for the first few weeks of school until you get an idea of what the kids at your new school are wearing. I believe the most popular clothes are blue jeans and different colored t-shirts, which are available at any clothing store or at the mall. Good luck and welcome to the USA!
6 :
Nice try,bird brain... Should've put this up for April Fool's Day,but it probably took you an entire year to even come up with this.
7 :
nice try troll...i dont think frankilavia is a real place, considering it got no google results, plus togas were worn in ROME. also, next time u decide to make up a fake name, make it ur display name too COLLEEN.

No, we don't have enough school time. I live in hawaii and we no longer have school on Fridays (all publc schools) because of a thing called furlough days... the state doesnt have enough $$, i think its ridiculous. We NEED more school time.
2 :
Yes, 6-7 hours of school is plenty. Kids need to be allowed to be kids, not be in school all day. The quality of what kids are learning is important, not the quantity. Unfortunately, the quality is going downhill and I think the public school systems have flaws, but simply extending the hours will not fix that. And going to school until 7:00 is just ridiculous. The younger kids will basically have no time to play or spend time with their families, because they'd basically go straight home, do homework, and then have to go to bed. Same with older kids. How would they have time to play sports or anything? Some high school kids have a LOT of homework too, and they'd have hardly any time to do it. That would just be sad, basically taking away kids' childhoods. And, if we went to school until 7:00, we'd be in school for about 11 hours!! I'm a senior in high school, and I don't think my brain could even stay focused on school for that long, so imagine the little kids! Can you imagine getting 1st and 2nd graders to sit through 11 hours of school!? Man, I really hope this never happens- I sure am glad I'm graduating this year. So, I think we do need to improve our education system, but not by extending school hours.
3 :
I think something needs to be done, sure. We have too many kids in school who "graduate" without learning how to read and write, how to do math, how to act out in public. I'm not even talking college prep stuff, just the basics. I think keeping kids in longer would help if it was done right--for the specific purposes the President mentioned a while back, that is, helping kids learn reading, writing and basic arithmetic. As it stands, the time and schedule of our public school system really is too rooted in a farming society that for the most part, no longer exists. Most of the farms we have now are either company farms, or they're the sorts of things where the chores *have to* be done by adults. So it does make us the laughing-stock of the rest of the Developed World, that we educate our children so little. Thing is....I'm not sure more time, by itself, is going to make much impact. Sure, it's the least controversial thing to say. It's the one thing you can say that *won't* get Fake Town Hallers bussed to your front door. But the truth is, we need at *Minimum*: --More time, yes, and, --Using Kumon drills to force the issue and actually *teach* a testable, working standard of math, reading comprehension, and legible, grammatical writing, --Giving Teachers and Principles the backup they need--meaning allowing them to discipline unruly, thugged-out kids as early, often and intensely as needed, up to and including physical restraing and spankings. There are ways to do this that don't encourage abuse--if closed-circuit cameras are good enough for public housing and courthouses, they can be used at school too. Likewise, having assistants in *every* classroom to lower the adult-to-child ratio is a must, if only so there are witnesses. I'd have more ideas to propose, but this is the *Least* we can do. This is the minimum it would take to course correct for a *Lot* of the problems public schools have lately. That and one more thing: --FUNDING. We need to get serious about funding public schools again....even if it means opening up State Reserve Banks (yes, it's legal, one state already does this), and having them pump *most* of their interest and fees from that into public schooling. Because just using property taxes and lottery taxes does *NOT* cut it. Too many kids go without desks and books, ok? But yeah. More time is a nice idea, but it's only the beginning. We need to do a lot more to get this generation literate and civilized again.
