What if your High School doesn't offer AP/IB courses?

<p>I live in Canada and I am going to be going to a high school which doesn't have AP/IB courses. I don't know if all Canadian high schools don't have AP courses but does this make it a lot harder to get into good colleges like Stanford/Yale etc?</p>

<p>No, because colleges will see that you couldn't have taken AP/IB classes.</p>

<p>Consider ordering some AP textbooks from <a href="http://www.half.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.half.com&lt;/a> and self-studying.</p>
