[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bunch of schools want to see that you took the hardest courses available to you at your school.  Sorry that’s not Gen Ed.

This only matters if your kid is even thinking of more selective schools.  If not take the gen ed class with no homework and don’t worry about it.[/quote]

I thought Gen Ed is not reflected on the transcript. That’s why many students choose those classes over intensified. Definitely max out on the AP classes though 10th through 12th grades. [/quote]

This thread is about this:

Part of the paperwork your guidance counselor fills out as part of the Common App Secondary School Report (CASSR) asks them to rank the rigor of your course load as one of the following: Most Demanding, Very Demanding, Demanding, Average, Below Average. Of course, these distinctions are relative to your individual high school’s offerings.

The question of this thread is whether Gen Ed classes would cause your counselor to select most demanding, very demanding, demanding and so on.[/quote]
