[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t have many 4.0s, maybe 2 kids per year. Then a few 3.9 and 3.8s. But looking at school data, unfortunately rigor is not important in college admission. The unweighted gpa is critical for T20, in particular for ivy and ivy plus. The highest rigor 3.7 kids are locked out of many, but not all, top schools. [/quote] I concur. Colleges don’t seem to care about rigor that much. The only expectation is you take 1 AP in each core area. After that honors are sufficient. In your major area, take all AP’s. [/quote] I agree as well. It goes contrary to DCUM thought but from our private rigor does not seem to matter. We have a younger kid who we are keeping in more on-level classes for this reason. No reason to push ahead if it doesn't matter and just leads to more stress. [/quote]
