Sure. But they didn’t pick an axe, they picked a machete.
- Comment on Survive the zombie apocalypse 1 year ago:
The only item here that will be remotely useful longterm is the machete. All the other items will run out of gas, ammo, and battery quickly.

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.

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.

Maybe Google translate will help you.
Amerikansk high school-eksamen
En amerikansk high school-eksamen vurderes kun i kvote 2.
Nogle IB-skoler, som også er amerikansk akkrediterede, det vil sige anerkendte som amerikanske skoler, tilbyder et amerikansk High School Diploma som alternativ til en ikke fuldt gennemført IB-eksamen. Vær da særligt opmærksom på, om eksamensforløbet opfylder de krav til en amerikansk high school eksamen, som er beskrevet i Eksamenshåndbogen.
Krav om 3 AP-eksaminer
Der kræves 3 AP-eksaminer aflagt ved College Board og bestået med mindst karakteren 3, for at den amerikanske high school-eksamen kan give adgang til universitetsuddannelser. For at opfylde kravet om AP-eksaminer kræves desuden, at AP-eksaminer er aflagt inden for minimum 3 forskellige fagområder. Eksempelvis vil AP-eksamen i fagene US Government, Physics og Calculus AB være inden for 3 forskellige fagområder, mens AP-eksamen i fagene Physics, Calculus AB og Calculus BC kun dækker over 2 forskellige fagområder.
Et High School Graduation Diploma uden disse 3 studieforberedende og beståede Advanced Placement Tests giver adgang til erhvervskademi- og professionsbacheloruddannelser samt kunstneriske bacheloruddannelser. En sådan eksamen kan ved supplering blive adgangsgivende til universitetsuddannelser. Denne supplering bør ske i samråd med det uddannelsessted, hvor man ønsker optagelse, så man samtidig kan få at vide, om man opfylder eventuelle specifikke adgangskrav.
Det er som altid uddannelsesstedet, der afgør, om den enkelte kan optages.

I’ve never encountered any country that didn’t accept US diplomas, or rather treated them any different than any other non-EU diploma.
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.

Yes, they do. I have been to two.
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.

Not exactly a rave review of the American educational system.
No wonder European countries don’t accept US high school diplomas as sufficient for acceptance into a college or university.

While I don’t think any just society should allow anyone to be a billionaire, at least Bill Gates is giving away a lot of his wealth.
