[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If high school guidance counselors have to rate the student's schedule for rigor,  wouldn't it make sense that the kid who took AP's IF offered freshmen year have a more rigorous schedile?

We were told by multiple AO's during open houses/zooms that taking the most rigorous classes available is one of the top criteria used.

This. AO’s evaluate in the context of your high school! If a high school offers APs to 9th graders typically that is highest. Furthermore the types of AP’s matter: 8 APs English/Geo/World History/Psych /Bio/calcAB/econ/Physics1 
Is not the same ballpark of rigor as English/APush/Chem/Phys1/PhysicsC/BCCalc even though the latter is 6 not 8. 
Choose based on what your student can handle. If they are ready to take the maximum rigor at the high school, the teachers will invite them into that program/path. Other than extremely high ranked feeder private schools, T20 acceptance is for the highest rigor.T50 is not nearly as hard. High but not top rigor suffices [/quote]
