[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know OP. I have been reading lately that college admissions are looking at taking top 1-3 kids from high school classes. So rigor might matter, but it seems grades matter more. [/quote] It's a mix of both. Most colleges have an admissions system where admitted students who have rank (50-70% of students) need to be in the top of the class for their admissions page "we have [x]% valedictorians." But, if the school doesn't rank, lower gpas can sometimes be aided a ton from highly rigorous course loads. DC's school only ranks top 5, so they post their rank, get in their amazing schools. DC had a 3.7, but also had 21 APs and that propelled his app to an Ivy. It really depends on if the school ranks and how rigorous we're talking.[/quote]
