[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see any problem as long as test optional.  Grades are good.

Totally depends on the profiles of other students from the same school applying to the same college.  [/quote]

NO IT DOESN’T

Where do you people come from?

Her school will send her transcript along with a school profile.  The profile will show that the school offers all kinds of AP math and science classes that the student didn’t take.  The student won’t be judged against what other students applying to the same college are taking — they’ll be judged by the courses that they took among the courses offered.  Top colleges do not give a pass to a student who doesn’t at least try a few of the harder science classes regardless of intended major.  They get too many applications for that. [/quote]

While I agree with you for the very top colleges there is not much rigor wiggle room even for humanities kids, Wesleyan and Middlebury and similar tier Lacs allow for slightly imbalanced transcript. So do BC and other T30ish. However not "regular"stem like OP, more like AP bio as the one AP science and Honors not AP physics; ABcalculus not BC (this is a high school with about 60% completing either AB or BC by senior year at the latest, 10% vector calculus).
