<p>here's the thing. i'm currently a junior at a highly regarded public in the US with great numbers (top 10%, AP's, blah blah), heavy involvement in extracurriculars, several leadership positions, varsity athlete, a minority, and a very unique background. sooo my dad recently told me we're moving back to europe (i lived there for about 3 years during my pre-school years). in the states, i am not a permanent resident but i will now be considered an international student but i will be attending a very good private school. however, i really want to go to college in the US and I'm looking at very good schools. what really bugs me is that every accomplishment ive achieved in the past few years in high school will suddenly drop like a cliff because i wouldnt be able to continue.</p>
<p>please tell me, exactly how screwed am i in the admissions process? is this a good thing or a bad thing? anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how to cope with this situation, please let me know.</p>
<p>i appreciate you reading this and thanks for your responses!</p>
<p>At my school once you're past a certain time...May of your junior year, I think, your family can move away while you stay in your city and still go to the same school.</p>
<p>Would that be possible for you?</p>
<p>And I don't think you'll be that screwed in the admissions process. Lots of people switch schools in high school.</p>
<p>haha i actually thought about asking my parents to stay here alone but my mom is way too overprotective and she freaked out when i even mentioned it to her...thanks for your response!</p>
<p>Is there any relatives nearby that you can stay with? Had my mom decided to move before the end of my senior year, I would have stayed with my grandparents for the remainder of the school year, but luckily they aren't moving until this summer. Maybe something similar could work out for you.</p>
<p>no, my parents are both from overseas. a lot of people have told me to ask a friend but im nowhere near ready to ask someone something like this and put them on the spot! id feel guilty even if my friend offered it to me lol</p>
