International Student
Answered

Hi I'm an international student from Cyprus and my school doesn't offer AP/Honors classes. I have IGCSE's, International AS levels and International A level exams (next year)

Are my qualifications equivalent to AP courses?

If your school doesn't offer APs, US colleges wont hold it against you. What matters to them is that you take the hardest classes your school offers.

I will also say research and see what your school offers, and work hand in hand with your guidance counselor to make sure that you have the greatest chance in your current school to go to a great institution.
