AdmissionsDaniel-
I am a US citizen living in India, and my school doesn’t offer IBs. It is an extremely competitive school, and it follows the CBSE education system. Also, in the CBSE board, all students have to take the prescribed curriculum, so there is no question of one taking a tougher course load than another. Will my inability to take AP/IB courses and tougher courses in comparison to my peers put me at a disadvantage in the admissions process?

Thanks for your time!
