APs classes as an International Student
Answered

Hello! I am looking for advice because I am an international student who will be applying to various US colleges this year. The thing is that in my country, AP or Honor classes aren't offered, and I know they give you bonus points to be admitted. Colleges will understand my circumstance, or will this lower my chances to get into a good school? Thanks!

Colleges will understand your circumstances if you explain it in your application (normally there is a space for additional details, I think; put that explanation there). Of course, if there any options to take any sort of advanced class in your country, by all means take it!
