High School Completion Plus

Julia Chin - China
UCLA
Major: Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology

"The High School Completion (HSC) program at GRCC helped me expedite my transfer into a 4-year university. The HSC program offers various courses that satisfy both high school and the transfer requirements, making it possible to skip a third year in high school. I am now a senior at the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. Earning a Washington State high school diploma definitely enhanced my application. I received a full-ride scholarship to study at UCLA and soon I will be heading to Saudi Arabia for a masters degree in Bioscience. Based on my experience, I highly recommend the HSC program at GRCC."

Major: Human Development

"The High School Completion Plus Program was really helpful. During the transfer process, universities ask for university transcripts and a diploma. I could send both. It is also easier to apply for internships. Almost all of them require a High School Diploma. It really makes it easier to show them the diploma from GRCC (so I don’t have to translate and legalize my transcript). The other benefit is that international students can save a lot of money being enrolled in this program. My goal is to work for the United Nations in the future."

Insoo Jeon - South Korea
UCLA
Major: Computer Science

" I heard about GRCC's High School Completion program through EF. I thought that it was the perfect program for me because I wanted to go to university in America and I needed to complete high school. The program saved me time and I got a high school diploma as well. Moreover, at GRCC many students transfer to very high ranking Universities. I became one of them. I am pursuing my dream at UCLA in the field of Computer Science. I really appreciate GRCC and the High School Completion program. "

"My High School Completion experience was memorable. I was able to get my high school diploma while taking college classes. Since fall 2008, I have been going to the University of California, Berkeley, pursuing a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering. I plan to graduate in spring 2010 and find a job as a mechanical engineer."

Ha Thanh Van Nguyen - Vietnam
Georgia Tech
Major: Electrical Engineering

"GRCC was a remarkable transition for me. The faculty and advisors are all compassionate, encouraging, and dedicated to helping students excel academically. GRCC gave me a positive college experience through its plentiful services and opportunities. In the High School Plus program, most of my classes were double-counted for college and high school credits, making completion of an associate degree and high school diploma accessible within a timeframe of two years. "

Devina Sanjaya - Indonesia
University of Michigan: Ann Arbor
Major: Aerospace Engineering

"The High School Completion Program saved me time and money. I could finish my high school at the same time as I finished my first year of college. Also, the program increased my credibility when I transferred to the university. Furthermore, the program gave me a lot of opportunities to join college activities and to interact with other students from different countries."

Yu Yu Chang - Taiwan (R.O.C.)
UC Davis
Major: International Relations

"I am currently a junior at UC Davis, pursuing a bachelor degree in International Relations. The specific track I chose for this major is Peace and Security - it relates to the field of diplomacy. My career goal is to become a diplomat for Taiwan. After finishing my bachelor degree at UCD, I will do an internship with the California State Department. After that, I am planning to go back to Taiwan for the Diplomacy Examination. "
