The provided course at my school
Hello, I'm an international student from a country with a 180° differences with American ones. My school has no AP class, nor IB class. So I only go to a regular class and I have no choice for my course list. My school has a fixed schedule for their student and as a social science student, I learn no STEM subject. Do you think that it will give disadvantage for me and perhaps other international student?

I'm in a similar position but even as a social science student, did you ever have any STEM classes in any year of high school? Or was there no STEM class for the entire duration of five years
Top colleges mentioned in their websites that they evaluate applications considering each applicant's resources, so they will not compare you with someone who has access to AP class or IB class to make their decision.
