    Not exactly a rave review of the American educational system.

    No wonder European countries don’t accept US high school diplomas as sufficient for acceptance into a college or university.

      1. Yes, they do. I have been to two.

      2. At least in my country, the highschools are not exactly good. Many students get ~30% attendance. On top of that, there aren’t enough highschool slots for students, so poorer performing students can’t go to highschool or have to pay for private school.

        There may be some countries. But I know the Scandinavian countries will not accept US diplomas without the student passing extra testing that others don’t have to go through.

        It’s possible that’s for a full program. You may be able to take individual classes or certs with a US diploma.
