• Answer:

  You are going to need to finish HS here first. You will probably come in as a junior and two years of HS to finish. Ivy league schools are very difficult to get into. Harvard's acceptance rate is 7%. Yale has over 20,000 applications and accepted less than 2000 students.. Plus tuition and room and board is going to be over $45,000 a year. But yes you can apply to any US university. A full time college student takes 12-18 credits per semester. Each class is worth a certain amount of credits. Most classes are 3 classes. Classes, like biology, that have a lab can be 4 to 5 credits. Most majors require 120 credits to complete.
