What are my chances at a good college? (refugee student)

Hey everybody,

I was quite recently granted my political asylum and refugee status to stay in the USA and I am looking to go back to school. I would say, I am a unique candidate as it is extremely hard to get political asylum in the USA and I have gone through torture and abuse in my home country.

I speak four fluent languages, including English. I have grades of ABBC in my AS-Levels (grade 12) and 5 A-C grades in my IGCSEs. I did not do my A-Levels as I was forced to flee from my home but have an International Foundation Program diploma from a top UK university which is basically equivalent to the full A2 (grade 13).

I have lived and traveled all over the world and also plan to do my SATs and stuff. What are my chances at a good school?

Thanks!

It’s hard to tell what is what (e.g. IGCSE, AS-levels, etc.), so people will have some difficulty helping you. Also, with no SAT/ACT having taken or no other “numbers” to estimate your level, it will be tough chancing you.

Also, I am not sure of your grade at this time, either.

^^I agree with the above.

What do you mean by a “good school”?

When do you plan on attending college? Next year, the year after that, etc.
