Should I move before my senior yr. of HS…Ten point for best answer!!!!!?

I need more opinions

OK, I’ve spent two years at my high school in RI and am in the top of my class. I have also made many great friends! However, I’m almost definately moving after my Junior year to NY where I will spend my senior year.

I have made many friends to where I might move because my family lives there and that is where i spend much of my summer. However:

1. Their HS doesn’t have Italian..I’m in Italian 3 Honors next year and Italian 4 EEP Sr. year..so at my new HS I won’t have a language my sr. yr because they have no Italian…will this affect my college opportunities?

2. Will this move affect my class rank and GPA..because schools weight classes differently…this HS is more competitive…will new high schools look at my transcript and actually weight my grades how they weight theirs. Or will I just not be counted in the class rank or even just moved unfairly back in rank because they didn’t weight it.

Right now I’m in the top 6% of my class. Should i move?

With all the effort you’ve put in to being successful at your present school, and considering the class standing that you’ve attained, you are right to be concerned about potentially losing that standing when you’re on the verge of graduating. Your class standing and course availability at the new school could have a dramatic impact on which colleges admit you and the amount of financial aid you may receive.

I recommend sitting down with a counselor (or talking on the phone or via e-mail) from the new school to find out exactly what will happen with your grades transferring and approximately where your current grades will place you in the new school. If the answers are not satisfactory, do you have relatives or a close friend with whom you could stay and finish at your present school?

If the answers are satisfactory, then you want to consider whether 1 or 2 years at the new school will be best for you from a social perspective. Being the new kid’s always tough, but a second year is not likely to make a big difference.

Good luck!
