If the Chilean high school offers the full IB diploma, you are set academically to apply to the top American universities. Online classes seem like the genuinely wrong approach to me. Think about the message you are sending: “The school does not offer the classes and activities I want, hence I will retreat from my environment and hide behind a computer screen all day.” Why would a university that can cherry-pick its student body admit that student instead of a student who has gone out and made a difference?
