[quote=Anonymous]DD (Junior) is looking to apply to several Art and Design schools.  Her top 2 don't really "care" about high GPA (min. 3.0) or SAT/ACT scores (except to place you in Freshman English/Math classes).  I have been requiring her to take Honors classes and full academic loads (vs Art/Music/Study Hall) to strengthen her transcript.  She has maintained a 3.0 GPA without studying and could do better if she studied a bit or I let her drop the Honors classes (although too late for this year.

She has not done any real or in depth research on the schools so doesn't really know this info.  I just called admissions department to truly understand their requirements (they don't even require minimum years of particular HS subjects).  The schools are the best in the field that she wants to go into so I'm not concerned about her getting an appropriate college education.  What I don't want is for her to become more of a HS "slacker" since the schools don't require such a rigorous amount of HS work.
