My school doens't offer AP/Honors classes
Answered

I'm an international student from Chile, and I have a 4.0 GPA, but my school doesn't offer any AP or honors classes. Does this affect me in a negative way? I want to apply test optional

Welcome @belencpoirot! I don't think this will affect you negatively. It would if your school had AP or honors classes and you didn't take them, but if your school doesn't, why should that reflect badly on you? If you have a 4.0 and good extracurriculars, you will be a strong applicant regardless. So no, I don't think you will be at a disadvantage.

Good luck!

Admissions committees understand that not all schools offer the same range of courses or opportunities. They consider your academic performance within the context of your school and the resources available to you. It is important to highlight your accomplishments within the framework of your school's curriculum and roller baller your commitment to academic growth and intellectual curiosity.
