1. You are a high school student in Vietnam and you are currently studying in the Vietnamese or US 12 year system

* If you are at a British International School with a 13 year system you would be one year lower than in the VN system. So students now in Year 9 in the British system would be in Year 8 in the Vietnamese system and would need to complete 4 more years of study before University.
