i think u can directly go to community college...cuz in slc certificate...it just says that u've passed high school and it doesn't mantion about the grades like 10,11 or 12...so they might take slc certificate as High School Diploma...one of my cousin did the same...he got accepted in community college in CA.And if you can directly go to community college..don't waste your 2 years enrolling in 11th and 12th grade in US. that is my opinion.
