Can someone explain how the USA high school system works

Can someone explain how the USA high school system works?
Do students get to choose their subjects like in the UK? How come students do Calculus, trigonometry etc, when students in the uk do it all in the same maths class?

In high school you can choose your classes but there are some that you have to take. Like health for example. There's some classes where you can't take them till you've had a certain class or are a junior or senior. Like I wasn't able to take Art II till I had Art 1. Its the same with the english,math,science, and other classes. As you go through the years you take higher level classes.Oh, and you need a certain amount of credits to be able to graduate. I don't know why students in the UK do it all in the same math class. Probably just how long the UK school year is maybe?

Ben: It's not that you'll pay "international" tuition rates that's a problem for you - it's that (I'm assuming) you're not a resident of the state of California. Therefore, you'll pay out-of-state rates, the same rates that someone from Wisconsin or Georgia or New Jersey would pay. UCLA is a member of the University of California state university system, and as such, receives extensive tax dollar subsidies from the taxpayers of California. In return, the UC system charges discounted rates to all California residents and a much higher rate to everyone else. Supposedly, the higher rate represents the "true cost" of providing those students with an education. Despite frequent and incorrect statements, a student can not gain state residency in California by moving there to attend school. Think about that for a minute, and you'd realize that only freshmen would ever pay out-of-state rates. Presumably everyone who makes it through their freshman year has now lived in California for a year - so by the commonly offered advice, every student is a California resident by their second year of school. The truth is that a student who moves to California for the primary purpose of attending a university or college can not gain state residency, no matter how long they stay in school. So - long story short - your "problem" isn't your dual citizenship - it's that you're not a California resident. Good luck!

You will if your residence is Canada. If you establish US residence before going to school, then you won't. If you establish California residence, then you won't even have to pay out of state tuition.

In the US it is required that medical students obtain a minimum of 90 semester hours of college education before beginning their medical education. There are no exceptions to that.
