<p>Hello. This fall, I will be a junior in high school. I live in Canada, and my school only offers IB. I will be doing the full IB diploma program. My courses for my junior and senior years are as follows:
HL Math, HL English, HL Biology
SL Chemistry. SL ITGS, SL Spanish</p>
<p>I am thinking about self studying for AP bio and chem because I will already be taking IB bio and chem during school. Has anyone ever self studied for AP exams while in the full IB program? Would you recommend this? I would really like to go to an American university, and it will be much more difficult to apply as an international applicant rather than an in-state applicant. This is why I am considering self-studying.</p>
<p>I am also really interested in economics and computer sciences. Should I self study for AP computer sci or AP macro or microeconomics? Or would this be too much work?</p>
<p>Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)</p>
<p>So youre considering an american public school?</p>
<p>Wait, how would taking an AP Exam classify you as an in-state applicant when your grades/EC’s would all be international?</p>
<p>This is the definition of an “in-state applicant” from a NY institution: </p>
<p>A person whose domicile has been in the State of New York for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the time of registration for any period of attendance shall be a New York resident for the purpose of determining the tuition rate payable for such period. All other persons shall be presumed to be out-of-State residents for such purpose, unless domiciliary status is demonstrated in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Chancellor or designee. (8 NYCRR §302.1(a)(6)</p>
<p>In addition, most top institutions in America do consider IB exam results, so taking both exams would be a waste of time,effort and energy like retaking an SAT to raise a 770 to an 800.</p>
