[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC took 10 at Langley and was not considered “most rigorous”.[/quote]

Similar for my son at Chantilly HS. He took 11 APs:
- AP Comp Sci A (plus a post-AP computer class)
- AP Calculus BC (plus multi variable calc)
- AP Lang
- AP Lit
- AP Psychology
- AP Physics C
- AP Physics E&M
- AP Chemistry
- AP Spanish
- AP Government
- AP Statistics

But since he did not take AP World History nor APUSH during his sophomore and junior years, he does not get the "most rigorous" box checked off. Which is pretty ridiculous in my opinion.[/quote]

WTF? How could this not be considered most rigorous?

Are you certain the school did not check off most rigorous? Is this enough to be top 10% of your class?

Curious if most rigorous would be different at Annandale vs Chantilly vs McLean. All in the same fcps system.

I used to think you would have an edge coming from a lower ranked school but my friend’s daughter got rejected across the board from Edison. I guess I’m wondering if my child took 10-12 APs in McLean or if he was at Annandale and took the same 10 AP classes, would my child be at a disadvantage because he may not get most rigorous but at Annandale, he may get the most rigorous check.[/quote]
