Hi, first I would really really be happy if you could answer my question
\nand help me find a solution to my problem… I really appreciate the
\nefforts you do to help clueless students like me.<\/p>\n
I am a 12 grader high school student living in Saudi Arabia and I’m
\ncurrently studying in a Saudi<\/p>\n
-supervised American Diploma school section where I study both Saudi and US
\nsubjects. MY PROBLEM IS, I don’t know which system requirement should I
\nfollow. I checked the requirement for US system and they just require too
\nmuch.. (2 SAT subject test, SAT, IELTS+)<\/p>\n
I can’t do all of that before the deadline of 1 Feb 2017! In my country
\npeople start applying in summer after graduation and not during school. ????
\nHowever the Saudi curriculum requirements are so easy they only require
\nIELTS.
\nStudents who study in such merged schooling systems have to ask the MOE for
\na “certificate equivalency” where their transcripts get completely adjusted
\nto the Saudi system so they get into colleges (Some Saudi schools don’t
\nrecognize foreign certificates). My question is; will I be able to get
\nadmitted as a “Saudi student” if I applied with a “legally” equalized
\ncertificate?<\/p>\n
I hope you are able to help me<\/p>\n

hi,<\/p>\n
first of all, thank you for your kind words! i wish i knew all the answers to your questions off the top of my head but sometimes these questions take time to figure out.<\/p>\n
in regards to your question: WOW this is so complicated. this question made no sense to me so i decided to consult a registrar! they know everything. this is what they said.<\/p>\n
“if you are\u00a0following the saudi system and if the school is recognized by the ministry of education in saudi arabia as eligible to offer the saudi diploma, then applying as a saudi student is okay.<\/p>\n
the “legally” equalized certificate is not the issue, it’s whether or not you are following the saudi system (which it sounds like you are following both saudi and US) and if the school is recognized by the ministry to offer the saudi high school diploma, then applying as a saudi student is fine.<\/p>\n
if your\u00a0school is only accredited to offer the US diploma, then you must apply as a US student.”<\/p>\n
hope this makes more sense to you than it does to me!<\/p>\n
