Different education

[blackjack]

I am a US citizen but i have a "Right of Abode" for the UK so I am at school in the UK. I want to move back to the US after college (which would be the last two years of high school in the US). The problem I have is that the British educational system is different so I will not be able to have 60 college credits or a GPA. Will having a different education affect me in a bad way when I apply for a US PD?

I don't know if I'd say it will affect you in a bad way, but it could certainly prove to make your application process (particularly the BI) more complicated. That could be interpreted as a bad affect, depending on how you view it. You will also need to see if the degree is acceptable with a given department. If it is comparable with a degree from an accredited university/college, you should be okay.

Obtain transcripts from schools attended in the UK. Ensure you have a hassle-free path to obtain more copies after you move. There are official sealed & certified transcripts, and there are unofficial copies that you can keep for your records. The official ones are usually sent direct to another school or employer.
