Changing High Schools

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>For freshman year I studied at a prestigious high school (very selective, popular in the area, and is a HYP feeder school) but didnt quite like it since there were not enough ECs to my liking and the people were kind of "over-the-top". </p>

<p>I changed to a much more comfortable high school for my sophomore year which is apparent from my increased involvement in clubs and such. The high school, however, was significantly less prestigious than the prior one.</p>

<p>Now for my junior year, I have moved to a different country! I am enjoying the high school here and am doing well.</p>

<p>How would three schools in four years hurt me? </p>

<p>Or could it play in my favor? For example, since I am a US citizen, I am hoping my studing abroad will indicate "international experience".</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It seems like a lot of US citizens on this forum have international experience. anyways, being at three schools can't hurt you, if anything you could use it as an excuse for poor grade/lack of involvement (if that's an issue). definitely play it up, you've overcame a challenge by succeeding under tough conditions.</p>
