孩子是今年秋季开学的准高二生，想准备出国读高中。问了周边的朋友建议我孩子现在不要出国，请问现在开始准备明年开学时入美高晚了吗 对于申请美国大学有弊吗？_留学问答

Yes your friend is correct. The most common entry point for US college prep boarding schools is G10. That makes sense for many students because college preparatory studies usually cover a three year cycle. Most schools follow the AP program which begins in G10. You need really outstanding academics as well as extracurricular activities if you want to apply for G11.。
