An 85 is a fine average to be an exchange student. "Top" academic students aren't the only ones who qualify. That one might even get you some scholarship opportunities if you apply early. If you go through a solid, recognized program, generally speaking your school WILL give you some credit for your year -- usually foreign language, social studies, independent study and sometimes even math and/or science. Work with your counselor to schedule around your year -- you may find you have to take a correspondence or summer course to graduate on time however. Colleges and universities love former exchange students and many offer preferred admissions and/or scholarship opportunities (YFU even has a list). The top three programs to try are AFS, YFU and Rotary http://www.yfu.org/ http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home http://www.rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/youthprograms/RotaryYouthExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx
