<p>In our country (Bangladesh) we have no AP classes. Or IB. Or anything like that; we take the O and A'levels. I heard that it won't disadvantage me as the Universities know the situation. But, I was wondering if I could specify it in any way. For my UC application, I was provided a small space for that. Where do I specify this in Commonapp? :S</p>
<p>You could add a comment into your “Additional Information” section.</p>
<p>Something like “My high school does not offer any AP or IB classes. However, I have taken the most challenging course load they offer.”. Of course, you can only say that last part if it is true. 
There is a spot on the guidance counselor recommendation for them to say whether you have taken the most challenging course load, but I am not sure all counselors fill that out (found out last week that ours does not!).</p>
<p>I would not worry about this as long as you have challenged yourself with what is available at your school. My D was admitted to U of Chicago last week with no APs (her high school does not allow students to take them until they are seniors, and then they can only take two). She had a few college credits from a summer program she did, but that it. Her high school also does not have IB.</p>
<p>:D I talked to my counselor now, and he mentioned that part My course load was the hardest available, and he agreed with me. Thank you so much! I am also adding to the Additional Information, just in case!</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the quick reply! :)</p>
<p>Yep, I agree.</p>
<p>Your counselor submits a report detailing how rigorous your schedule is and what kind of classes are offered.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine as long as you’ve taken the most rigorous classes possible in your school setting. Colleges will look at your classes in the context of your school</p>
