[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the push is due to the stupid box on the common app where HS counselors attest to the applicant having taken the “highest rigor” classes available to them. If you don’t keep up with highest level math classes offered, some colleges will be out of reach, especially for STEM majors. [/quote] If I may interpose an actual factual question in the debate: Is this an actual, single yes/no box? What about students who take the highest rigor in some areas but not all?[/quote] Usually highest rigor means taking AP and advanced coursework in math, science, and really every academic subject that is available. Did you take regular English 9 and 10, or Honors English? Did you scrape in maths only teaching precalc as a senior, or were you able to take AP math classes? Unless you are talking about kids apply to art or music schools to study, you know, art or music. [/quote]
