INTERNATIONAL student---no AP/IB/HONORS COURSES?
Answered

Hi! I am a junior in a traditional high school in China and our school does not have AP/IB/HONORS courses. I have a high unweighted GPA (96+/100). I am wondering if this will negatively affect the evaluation of colleges.

hi, I'm an international student too and no, this will not affect your application. the reason why is because the admission office will have your school's curriculum (the School Profile that your counselor will have to submit) and they will see that you don't have any of these classes because your school doesn't offer!!
