<p>Hi everyone! So I'm an international student from the Middle East (Bahrain, to be specific), and I'm hoping to double major in international studies and economics in the US. I think I have a bit of a problem though, because I'm not doing any sort of international program (IB, A levels, etc) and because of that, unis can't really judge how strong or weak my school is. However, my school's high school system is a four-year high school with courses derived from GCSE (for grades 9 & 10) and IB/A levels (grades 11 & 12). I'd just like to know what you think my chances are considering my school's program</p>
