[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bunch of schools want to see that you took the hardest courses available to you at your school.  Sorry that’s not Gen Ed.

This only matters if your kid is even thinking of more selective schools.  If not take the gen ed class with no homework and don’t worry about it.[/quote]

This is ludicrous. Even "less selective" colleges want to see serious students taking substantive courses - which gen ed are not. I wish people would put an end to this black/white - top/susbstandard college stuff.[/quote]

I don't know why people can't stay on topic to the actual post.  So annoying.

This post is about what is required for the counselor to select most demanding on the Common App form.  Sorry if you don't like it but whether or not that box is checked is really only relevant for the most selective colleges, which yes these colleges will filter for that unless you have some other major hook in your application.  Nobody said that all kinds of colleges don't want to see kids taking more substantive courses.  People are answering a very specific question.[/quote]
