You absolutely can apply without AP or honors classes! American colleges only expect you to take the most rigorous course load available to you. If you cannot change the rigor of your classes at all, you will still be a competitive applicant so long as you maintain good grades. However, if you have the option to take IB courses, colleges will want to see you take them. Hope this helps!
