[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the high school, but generally “highest rigor” is not used as a superlative but is a tier (eg, everyone who takes 8+ APs). Also, most colleges do not put much weight on what the high school counselor says about it (especially from public high schools). They can evaluate a transcript themselves. [/quote] Yes, at public schools, at least, I think this is the common approach. A threshold of number of high-rigor classes rather than a subject-by-subject evaluation of level. At our school, for example, one of my kids had 10 APs with Calc AB as the highest math, and his counselor said he’d have the “highest rigor” designation. Also agree that colleges don’t really give it much weight; they’re looking closely at transcripts and evaluating their coursework in the context of other applicants from their school, their major interest, etc.[/quote]
