I got a national scholarship to be on a cultural exchange program for a year in another country after 11th. After returning back I had to repeat the year here and that’s what I’m doing now. (12th)
So just one gap year.

Maybe there’s no uni I can attend in the USA.
It definitely happens a lot. Certain online circles make it sound like any international with excellent academics can study in the US, but they are typically leaving out the critical caveat “if you can pay for it”.
You can take a shot at getting funded anyway, but it is just a very limited set of such opportunities, and there are far too many internationals with excellent academics for those limited few opportunities.

Where did you attend school (country) and what sort of curriculum (in case it’ssomething internationally recognized)? Did you learn a new language ?
It’s possible for you to attend college in the US but it’s not guaranteed.
(NOT public universities though).
Have you looked at the colleges suggested so far?
This thread is tagged class-of-2025. I can fix that for you. It’s also tagged first generation, which doesn’t apply to you.
I tagged it “class of 2025” because she stated that she didn’t have 12th grade info yet. That is why I posted that I was confused about the gap year. I thought I removed the class of 2025 tag when she clarified it last night.
No worries. Fixed.
