3 gap years, international

So here’s the scoop.

I’ve graduated from two high schools simultaneously back in '09. Since then I’ve been doing some politics and international business. It’s consistent with what I was doing through HS. My resume looks solid at this point, yet I can’t help but think I’m a little bit overdue on my applications.

Any chance you guys could let me know if I’m a non-traditional student?

How were you able to graduate from two high schools, not to mention simultaneously.

Two countries - Moldova and Russia. Russian school was a distance school, so I didn’t have to sit in on all the classes. Yet I had to pass every single test there was. Quite an experience.
The two schools were not connected in any way. The program at my Russian school was initiated by ex-mayor of Moscow Lujkov. He sponsored it all. The program is an opportunity for russian kids from former Soviet Union to receive quality Russian education. Besides this, there are also many tiny perks. :slight_smile: For example, since we graduate from Russian HS, we are eligible to enter their universities on the same terms as Russian kids do. Yet we keep our citizenship and have a backup plan of our home education.
It was cool ^^

I mean, not common-cool. Nerdy-cool ^^

Actually, when I think of it, not so simultaneously. I had to fly back and forth, and take school-leaving exams. And my Moldovan diploma was issued like two weeks earlier, I think.

I would say you are non-traditional based on the three-year gap. You are also an international student. But the reality is that your international status is the bigger issue or category that will determine a lot of your opportunities rather than the three-year gap. Be sure to go on the International forum here for advice.

Got it, thank you!
