<p>Ok, so in my school (outside U.S.) we have this system. I know that american schools have 4 years in High school ( Fresh, Soph, Jnr, Snr). Ok, so heres the deal in my school, well country, we have 5 years. Grades 9,10 and 11 each have 1 year , however, Grade 12 has 2 Years. You see, there sometimes called forms in my country so u have 3rd form, 4th form, 5th form, 6th form.Well, you do graduate after 5th form( the equivalent to your Junior Year, but 6th form is optional), receiving your school leaving certificate or diploma depending on various factors . Grade 12 or 6th Form has 2 levels, you have 6B then 6A, after completing 6A you graduate with an Associate Degree. So my question to you is this: After completing 6th form, do i Apply as a freshman or will I have to apply as a Transfer? Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>BTW, my high school really starts from 7th grade, so, i was just wondering when my transcript is sent, is it for only 9th grade and up ( my school does know and acknowledge that American high schools start at 9th grade and even had a talk with us stating how important it is, and this is where we need to start working harder) or do they send the transcript from 7th grade and up? Thanks again :)</p>

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D</p>
<p>You would apply as a Freshman; unless you have started any sort of tertiary education (which it doesn’t sound like you will have, because I don’t think an associate degree counts), you would not apply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>Regarding your transcript, just ask your school officials; they seem to know the American system, and if they feel sending 7th and 8th grade is necessary or not, they will do so. Certainly 7th and 8th grade would not be very important, as I can imagine some admissions officers wouldn’t even bother to look at them, but within the context of your schooling system it might have some weight.</p>
<p>An associate’s degree does count, in the american system it is equivalent to 2 years of college schooling (which this sounds like as well).</p>
<p>If you were to attend University in your country, how long does it take to get your bachelor’s degree? 2 years, I’m assuming?</p>
<p>Well, it really varies…ALOT!!! But from what ive gathered, if u graduated from 6th form it takes 2 years, if you only graduated from 5th form it takes 3 years. Though, it does seem like the management courses and so forth do take approximately 4 years.</p>
<p>Yeah, so then if you graduated 6 form you would be considered a junior transfer at an American University.</p>
<p>Graduating 5 form you should probably apply as a freshmen.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice Chendrix 
You really helped. And, just a little before you posted and it said: </p>
<p>"Applying as a Freshman</p>
<p>You apply to Cornell as a freshman if youll complete secondary school during the current academic year, if youre seeking admission after your junior year at a secondary school, or if youve graduated from secondary school but have been enrolled full-time at a college or university for less than half a year."</p>
<p>So, i guess the 5th form part comes in with the applying after junior year. But, the 1st sentence, it says complete secondary school, however, i seriously dubt that graduating with an associate degree is a normal thing at high schools so i’ll have to check that. Thanks for all the responses and if anyone has more advice or help feel free to post </p>
<p>BTW, the paragraph was taking from the page about applying as Internationals.
