There may be some countries. But I know the Scandinavian countries will not accept US diplomas without the student passing extra testing that others don't have to go through.
It's possible that's for a full program. You may be able to take individual classes or certs with a US diploma.
I've never encountered any country that didn't accept US diplomas, or rather treated them any different than any other non-EU diploma.
I am talking about full bachelor's programs.
One example is Denmark where a US highschool diploma is only considered under quota 2, which means you have to have other merits than just the highschool diploma. It could be additional testing and relevant work experience.
Diplomas from most other countries are considered under quota 1, which looks at the diploma only.
There are many other countries with similar rules.
Do you have a source because from here I see
Which doesn't seem too different from other countries
I guess that is met by the AP requirements, but it seems like wherever they can set more strict standards they try to, including with EU countries.
This is the source (in Danish): https://ufm.dk/uddannelse/anerkendelse-og-dokumentation/guide-til-anerkendelse/til-udlandet/valg-af-gymnasieskole-i-udlandet
Maybe Google translate will help you.
Okay, so roughly the same as what I posted. Yeah I suppose it is quota 2, but as I said, it doesn't seem much different than many other countries. It's certainly not saying the US highschool diploma is exceptionally bad. Especially given how common AP classes are.
Well, it says what I initially said. That a regular US highschool diploma is not acceptable as a standalone document to get you accepted. You have to do extra and even AP classes won't get you out of having to go through quota 2. And that's really a reflection of a US highschool being an inferior education in their eyes.
What are the requirements for a Danish student?
Also again, this seems similar to the requirements for other foreign students.
If you read (or translate) the link I sent, you'll see that it's specifically aimed at American students with a US highschool diploma.
Danish students can apply under either quota.
