<p>Hi. Im an American citizen living abroad. Im currently completing my last year of O Levels. Here are the subjects im taking :
1. Math
2. English
3. Chemistry
4. Physics
5. Biology
6. Business
7. Economics
I'm be hopefully moving back to America this in August or so after getting my O Level Certificate. I was wondering, can I do 12th grade in a high school there? I'll be 18 in August. Ive heard i can go to community college, but im not sure if i should do that. I want to go to colleges such as Boston University or Rochester Uni. What should i do?</p>
Community colleges accept O levels. And it is a pretty good option, for you would be saving a great deal of money and attain an Associates degree which you could later use to transfer to a great four year college like Baruch college etc.
The progressive normal sequence from O level is 11th, not 12th (O levels are 16 yr old exams). If you can possibly wing it, go into 11th and then you can do your SAT/ACT and some APs and be competitive. I don’t know how much your age might affect that but in my state you would already be a graduating senior with an 18th birthday in August unless you were held back at some point. In some states you might be a junior with different cutoffs.
