Do you have to completely finish high school before applying to college in Europe?
I'm in my senior year of high school in the US and I am interested in going to college abroad (I've lived abroad before so yes, I know what I'm signing up for). I know that in the US you can apply for college even though you don't have your complete high school diploma yet, just on the condition that you will complete high school. Is that the same for colleges in Europe? (Or more specifically, for foreigners wanting to go to college in Europe?) A few colleges I found online said that you have to completely finish high school BEFORE applying, meaning you'd have to wait another year in-between. Is this the case for most colleges in Europe? Does anyone have experience with this?

No you do not have to finish before you apply. However, generally in Europe a US high school graduation certificate is not sufficient to enter university. You will need to be planning to sit either the IB or have at least 3 APs. In the UK and Ireland your acceptance will be conditional. In other parts of Europe, you can fast track with the IB meaning that you get your acceptance and visa within three months.
If you want to study in a non English speaking country, you will also have to pass their language exam.
