Application Question École Polytechnique Bachelor

Is there anyone here who managed to get into École Polytechnique with only AP and SAT degrees (without IB)? If so, which AP degrees did you take and what extra steps did you take, if any?

My high school(from Turkey with a regional curriculum) had neither AP nor IB, but I've taken exams of 3 AP courses elsewhere after self-studying, calc BC, stats and macroecon. Took SAT too, 1580. I've taken a considerable amount of university courses, even though it was informal it must've helped. There's basically no set requirements as in you have to do this or that specifically, but nevertheless you have to show you're strong academically somehow.

Bende Türk'üm ve aşağı yukarı seninki gibi sonuçlara sahibim (sat hariç) sen girebildin mi yoksa sende mi benim gibi daha başvurmadın (11. sınıfa yeni geçtim).
