Question about Lebanese Baccalaureate

Hi everyone,

I’m a sophomore student at University in the U.S. looking to complete studies in Lebanon. I feel this could be a great opportunity to explore my heritage that I didn’t get to experience growing up, and I’m particularly interested in AUB and LAU.

I’m trying to figure out the Freshman Year Equivalency requirement for the Baccalaureate and I have a few questions for anyone who has done it or is familiar.

Do I need to complete it before submitting my university application, or is it required after receiving conditional acceptance? How long does it take to be issued? And if there’s any documents, steps, or common mistakes I should know about before starting.

I would appreciate any guidance you have, thank you very much!
