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.
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.
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.

I am talking about full bachelor’s programs.

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.

Maybe Google translate will help you.

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.
