How do Australian students, (who finish their HSC in November), go to the US for tertiary study (starts Sept)?

Question

The NSW HSC in Australia doesn't finish until November. For students who wish to go to the USA for college after they finish high school, how do they do so without having to wait a whole year before the next freshman year starts? Surely there must be a way by which Australian students are accommodated for!

Answer 1

At most US colleges and universities you also can start in January, at the beginning of the second quarter/semester.
