[quote=Anonymous][quote=mmoommoo]D26 is on stem track. She is taking all advanced stem courses in the school, so far all As or A-s. Taking Advanced Calc in 11-th grade, and linear algebra in the 12-th. Private high school. Overall GPA reasonable with a few B+. Her school does not give weighted gpa for advanced courses. How colleges view the rigor of her courses, given that the school does not provide ranking and does not provide weighted gpa for advanced courses? [/quote] Rigor matters a lot. IMHO, the academic profile of a student consists of GPA (unweighted/weighted; recalculated by most colleges), rigor (numerically reflected in the weighted GPA but a deeper look includes the number of APs as well as their composition (e.g. AP CS A has more value than AP CS Principles)), and test scores. Everything else is a secondary. The more selective the school, the larger the pool of applicants with a perfect academic profile.[/quote]
