Does the US really not have school leaving exams? Or is that just because your daughter is home-schooled?

FWIW, I studied in France (graduate level, but had other intl friends in undergraduate), and high school scores were never even mentioned. Admissions were entirely based on audition and aural tests.

It’s probably a long way in the future, but it might be worth considering getting a BMUS in the US, and then going overseas for graduate study. It’s always nice to have a degree that’s recognised in your home country, so that you’ve got that to come back to. That would also give her time to learn the language.

Good luck!
