<p>Did you study at an American school in Italy or at a regular Italian school ? </p>
<p>The reason I’m asking is that I assume the school-leaving certificate in Italy (Diploma de Esame di Stato ?) would be of a higher standing than an American HS diploma (more like a French BAC, German Abitur, or British A-Levels). The classes you listed though are of a much lower level (e.g. pre-calc, trig, etc.).</p>
