Are APs that important?Answered
Hi. I鈥檓 an international student and I鈥檓 planning on applying to college in the US. But sadly, my school doesn鈥檛 offer any APs or IB courses. Would that affect my application? Also I would apply test optional.
Thanks 锛氾級

Colleges will take the course offerings, or lack of, at your school into account. As long as you challenge yourself with the highest level classes your school does offer, colleges will see that you did the best with what you had. Additionally, you could try to take online courses or courses at a local college. I would advise taking the SAT or ACT though, as a good score will definitely improve your chances, and if you score badly there's no need to show it to colleges.
