[quote=Anonymous][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] PP. there are a very limited number of top schools that care, so these highest rigor 3.7 kids often end up there, if they also have a high test score to prove they can do the work. But more don’t care and look at gpa only. [/quote] This is OP. I’m asking about a highest rigor 3.97 student. Does that make a difference from 3.7? (It should IMO, but what do I know)[/quote]
