How do i get in contact with high schools in USA

How do i get in contact with high schools in USA?
Hey, Im a Danish boy at the age of 18. I play football and want to go to college - and since it is pretty hard to come from another country and earn a football scholarship I have been advised to go a high school and take the senior year before trying to earn a scholarship. How do I get in contact with a high school and what state should I go to ? Dix

the states of texas and florida have the toughest and most competitive high school football leauges in america, and therefore, the most heavily recruited by college scouts. you'd have to choose what city you plan to live in and then contact that cities chamber of comerce maybe. then it would depend on where in the city you moved to as to which public high school you'd be put in. unless you wanted to go to private school, then you'd just contact that school directly. the first thing to do is to choose a city, then you can get all the info you need about that cities school districts and the high school football programs in the area.

you can look into doing a homestay with a family

If you are indeed a US citizen they really, all you need to do is to stay with a US relative and go to high school in their community.
3 :
yeah, you can go to a private school, or claim permanent residence at wherever you would live and go to that public school. But you would be transferring halfway through your high school career, which may be difficult because of how different the UK's school system is from the US's. You shouldn't have any trouble signing up for school though, since you are a citizen.

Is the application form for CUNY same for students currently attending high school outside USA and inside

Is the application form for CUNY same for students currently attending high school outside USA and inside?
Hey, I was looking in the CUNY site about application for students currently attending high school outside USA and I found this page http://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/prepare/outside.html Then i went to the 3 paragraph where it says "Review our instructions for high school seniors " but after this the page forwarded me to the page for high school seniors AND here is the problem i scrolled down where it says "download the Application Worksheet for High School Students" when the new page opens in the pdf format it says it is for students currently attending in usa high schools. So now i cant find a proper form for students currently attending high school outside usa thanks politically but now which application should i use the same i referred on the top ,i mean the form that USA high schools students fill?First of all i care about filling the prepoer form and then about the visas and etc Edit number 2: i went to the list for international students -students currently attending high school outside USA and then i had the problem i decribed on the top. Now for the degree i am thinking of studing chemistry and biochemistry in queens college and then apply for medicine as my cousin did ( I have my uncle to insure the loan i will take after college).Well is that degree so worthless? i don't know then. I cant afford going to private college Edit 3: First of all i would like to thanks you forr answering me again and again:) well,as i told you my cousin studied biochemistry and chmeistry in queens and then went on to medicine which he is studing right now.I have a house at queens and there would not be much expenses on food....so i just calculate the fees which is like 50,000$ for 4 years or something and about 200,000 in medicine. In uk is it necessery to do a major for example chemistry in order to study medicine and also if you count the tuition fees and personal expenses for housing and stuff would it be more?

Don't worry, CUNY does not turn away any applicants. It is considered a 'non selective school' with all that that implies for the degree you will get. You will need to fill out some additional sections to apply for your student visa if you are not a US resident or citizen. This will require you to submit your financial data so that they can see you can afford the fees and will be able to feed and accommodate yourself in NYC which is not the cheapest city in the world. Currently studying Masters at City College. Edit: go to the section for international students and see the list of forms there. I remember having to 'translate' my UK degree into a US style GPA so I don't think there was a separate form. To be honest, they really take everyone that applies and can pay. If they ask for an SAT score obviously you must sit the SAT first. Errmm you do know that the degree is going to be quite worthless don't you? Edit2: If you want to read Medicine you would be nuts to consider an American university. You can read Medicine as an undergraduate in the UK but in the USA it is a post-grad course. Besides, it will be even harder to get into Medical school in America than it would be in the UK so you run the risk of spending four years and $120,000 only to find that you cannot get in anywhere.
