How to enter Harvard without Ap classes, College courses taken at a local four-year and Honors classes
Answered

Good moning, i have a question about ap classes,college courses and honors classes, in my country (Italy) those things doesn't exist .When we finish middle school we have to choose our high school wich can be a classic one a scientific one or an Institute. I personally have done the scientific one and it's one of the hardest types that a student can choose ,the subjects that we learn are : italian, english, latin, math, history, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences and art.

My question is how to enter Harvard without ap classes, honors classes as an intrernational student.

Hi @Mariam.!

If AP classes, college courses, and honors classes don't exist in your country, Harvard admissions officers will know that. What matters to them is that you've taken the most rigorous coursework from what was available to you.

To supplement your coursework, extracurricular activities will be very useful.

Hope this helps!
