[quote=Anonymous]It looks like we will be moving to Asia for my dd’s high school years.  I am trying to think through how this impacts the college research/ application process.  We will be returning to the states once a year.

So I am thinking we need to plan some college tours while we are home in addition to the usual family visits, medical stuff, and shopping. (I graduated from an international school in the Caribbean years ago, so I know a bit of the drill.) My parents took me on one 1 college trip in the spring of my senior year to the schools that accepted me and offered scholarship money.  I got to pick from those. I am pretty grateful it was that simple.

My dd will have a more challenging profile- she is twice exceptional (gifted/ dyslexic) so I expect high school to be challenging.  We have been really focused on the dyslexia remediation and expected to spend the next four years looking at smaller schools with learning support programs. So that plan isn’t going to work now.

How have others navigated this? Are there any resources you would suggest? Are there counselors who specialize in supporting international applicants? The school she will be attending sends students to many countries for college, so I don’t know how much expertise they will have in US schools.

Thanks for any advice you can share![/quote]
