[quote=Anonymous]My husband was in this situation. A couple of things:

1. Check residency requirements for in-state tuition. In many cases, just owning property in a state does not establish residency. You need to live there full-time. Additionally, there’s often a required time period, sometimes a year or more. So, if you move back summer before 12th, maybe they’d qualify for in-state tuition (bc that’s when 1yr happens) but would be considered an oos applicant (bc not 1yr yet. And some places have different acceptances for in/oos)

2. Make sure foreign school covers topics to be successful in American universities. Eg, science/math/language every year. My Dutch relatives specialized by high school, the would be lawyers dropping most STEM, for example. A US friend in Switzerland had a tutor for their kid bc their (excellent) school focused more on humanities & they knew their kid would need hard science for US college apps (I think they were indecently doing an AP?).

3. ECs matter more in US than foreign universities, so don’t neglect those.

Now, if your kid would be most interested in private schools and/or money is not a problem for you, #1 doesn’t matter. If your kid would possibly stay in Europe, none of this matters[/quote]
