Hello, fellow members

Its a question has been grinding my mind since the freshmen year

These two programs -IB and AP- maybe expanded worldwide and become standarts that defines the secondary education but still in my country these two only offered in private HSs

there are little number of HSs offereing AP most of them American DOD schools they have no place for outsiders and rest are overpriced little amount of scholarships

Speaking of IB I had much chances to pursue but still no hope most of private HSs had ditched the IB bunch of public schools offers 3-4 subjects per year not a full ride experience in IB and bunch of remaining IB offering private HS can be found also overprices narrow scholarship chances

Im in my junior year in a country’s top 30 public school due to last years of social transmutation to more religious practises over the country we -as students- face oppression and demoralising facts everyday this forced many kids to turn homeschool

I target majoring at either BA or Econ in USA

In a situation like this what will you do? is it so obvious for us to take IB or AP will this make tremendous differences on applications? or prompting this programs unavailability to admissions team and pitching the essays based on that belief will help?
