College Confidential - View Single Post

I go to a British International School in Singapore, where we take British GCSE's and the IB. (I'm in the 9th Grade by the way, just started High School). Our school doesn't offer any AP classes, as do all British private schools in Singapore. I was wondering how this would affect me and if I would be looked down upon when it comes round to applying for college because of this, and if it did, what I could do to compensate. Furthermore, I have a US passport, and I was wondering if there would be anyway I could explain this to admissions officers when I applied, how ever far away that may be.

Thanks to anyone who might help!
