[quote=Anonymous] It matters a lot for college admissions, OP. Universities want to see that students have pushed themselves to take the hardest classes available to them in their high school. Of course, that also comes with the caveat that universities ALSO want to see the highest GPA possible. For my son, this meant AP everything in the Humanities, and Honors everything for STEM, because he didn't think he could handle AP versions. It's always a game of "what is the hardest class in which your kid can get an A"? This is why most high schools have add/drop periods in the fall. Students try a hard class, get a bad grade, and drop down a level if they think they won't be able to hoist themselves to straight As. In some schools, Honors is the new Regular, and Regular is the new Remedial. Finally, you're correct about the fact that usually, the hardest classes have the best teachers and the most studious and least "troublesome" peer group. [/quote]
