[quote=Anonymous]Course rigor matters a lot, more so than people think, but you have to still maintain the GPA. I would actually go by what is known about the teachers in the school for those particular classes next year as a potential factor for deciding. Example, my daughter had a harder time in US history honors than AP US history based on what everything I heard and that was the case across the board for a lot of her friends. For Virginia Tech, major, demographics, being first gen or Pell eligible, and your service level or volunteer work really matters more than people think. For jmu, course rigor I know matters more than others think, I know a girl who basically didn’t take any APs so what look like a matching GPA but had a 1400 SAT and did not get into Jmu. JU has also gotten very competitive in the past 3 to 5 years, as they’ve gained national attention. [/quote]
