<p>Im an international that is in year 11 (10th grade). I've been studying the British curriculum since i was 3 but i plan to switch to the American my junior/senior years as i plant to attend university in the US (Im a Citizen). This is my current schedule:</p>

<p>9th Grade (Year 10) (All A's/A*'s)</p>

<p>-IGCSE Maths (Took the exam and got an A*)
-IGCSE English Language
-IGCSE Biology
-IGCSE Chemistry
-IGCSE Economics
-IGCSE ICT
-IGCSE French
-IGCSE Art and Design </p>

<p>10th grade: (Achieving A/A* in all subjects)</p>

<p>-IGCSE Additional Maths
-IGCSE English Language
-IGCSE Biology
-IGCSE Chemistry
-IGCSE Economics
-IGCSE ICT (awaiting my results - since i took the exams early)
-IGCSE French
-IGCSE Art and Design </p>

<p>The other subject exams will be taken in may/june 2014. Then i plan to go to the American Internation school which only offer 2 AP's max. to juniors (exceptional Students are allowed 3). They also only offer honor classes for math.</p>

<p>11th grade schedule:</p>

<p>-English 11
-Pre-calculus Honors (Self-study statistics since the school doesnt offer this course)
-Physics
-AP Psychology<br>
-US History (Won't be allowed into AP since i haven't done history since 8th grade)<br>
-AP Economics<br>
-Internship Art & Design
-Arabic as a foreign language (intermediate) - compulsory class </p>

<p>12th grade schedule:</p>

<p>-AP Language and Linguistics or English 12<br>
-AP Calculus AB (Self-study BC)
-AP Physics B
-AP Comparative Government
(Haven't decided on what other classes i'll take but they'll have to electives or regular classes since i'll have taken the only available honors class (Pre-calculus honors)</p>

<p>I'd love to attend universities such as UVA or U of Michigan. I know i'll need to take SAT I and 2 SAT II subject tests. Do you think i have any chance of getting into these universities if i score really high on my SAT's and am taking the one most rigorous schedule available at my school?</p>

<p>i think that looks fine</p>

<p>What’s the comparison between AP and IGSCE? I’m pretty read up on Michigan, so I could give you an opinion if you could provide me that.</p>

<p>University of Michigan actually considers a students application with just their IGCSE’s as long as they also submit their SAT’s scores. AP would be considered as the equivalent of the British A Level. A levels are taken after IGCSE’s or GCSE’s, during 11th/12th grade. </p>

<p>Though, GCSE’s/IGCSE’s are also roughly considered the equivalent of a US High School Diploma ([International</a> General Certificate of Secondary Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_General_Certificate_of_Secondary_Education]International”>International General Certificate of Secondary Education - Wikipedia))</p>
