Answer 1

Graduated means done, finished, doesn't matter where you finished, you're done!  Doesn't matter how many years.  Graduated means you can't go back again.

The college guy had a good plan:  go to English language classes for a year while you're waiting so you have a year's residency.  Then go to college!

Good luck and study hard!

Answer 2

Answer 3

If you finished high school in your country then you don't need 2 go to high school here. It wouldn't make sense (even thought here we have one more year of high school). Make sure you have your graduation papers from your school. Look in your local library or center for ESL classes & general math classes.(The classes should be free). This will help you prepare for the college entrance exam. Finally the benefit of waiting a 1yr is you will get a reduced rate because you will be considered a resident of that area. Good Luck!!
