Your only 15! You have time until college, so I say study your balls off for the SAT and get into a good school for deigital/graphic design.


He's British, so college and uni are actually separate institutions. You start college at 16/17... looking into at 15 is very much the right thing to do.


You start college at 16, then when do you enter/finish high school?

In the UK we don't have "high school". That only exists on infantile internet forums and crap american teen movies.  :p

High school = "6th form" (if you decide to carry on in school, suitable for the less mature and people who can't motivate themselves).

High school = "college" (specific learning institution for people of 6th form age or older, often have mature students also, for people who can motivate themselves given the extra freedom it allows)

 

US College = UK University.

 

 

Like already said OP. You'd be a fool to take that BTEC course unless it was purely a leisure activity you enjoy doing, it will do nothing whatsoever in terms of getting you a job in that area in the future. Your best be is to stick with MATHS - hate it or not - tough luck. Nothing else matters, your product design won't hurt as you will use CAD and whatnot which a uni will like, by no means essential.

 

If you chose core subjects and ICT you can do whatever you like at uni anyway, if you do the BTEC, come uni you will just look stupid and top end uni institutions won't want to know.


We american univeristies too you know
