Comment on Not if the lack of grammar and education gets you first...

No wonder European countries don’t accept US high school diplomas as sufficient for acceptance into a college or university.

Yes, they do. I have been to two.
At least in my country, the highschools are not exactly good. Many students get ~30% attendance. On top of that, there aren’t enough highschool slots for students, so poorer performing students can’t go to highschool or have to pay for private school.

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.

    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.
