[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rigor has always mattered regardless of school type (private or public). The 4.0 with easy classes will have far worse outcomes than the 3.85 with the most difficult courseload.[/quote]
This is old advice. Not at all true if the supposed “rigor” courses (math? STEM?) have nothing to do with the 4.0 student’s interests. Major matters more than ever: colleges are sick of STEM, Econ, and biosciences applicants — as well they should be,[/quote]

You have no proof of "colleges are sick of STEM," one way or another. Just because you are sick of STEM doesn't mean "as well they should be." This sounds like the wishful thinking of a mom whose child is inclined towards non-STEM and didn't have the highest rigor.[/quote]

Np. Why is everything so personal here? This is so weird.
Noone is "sick of STEM". It's oversaturated, and the AO eyes roll when they see another application. Nothing is personal or even specifically about your child, whatever their inclinations are.
