[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It works out in the end. Kid missed top 10% by 3 students and 0.02 GPA that would have easily been made up if they had taken a study hall in 9th instead of an regular fine-arts elective when did not need it. It mattered not in the end, they had max rigor every area, got into T10 and multiple T25, while several "above" them without max rigor did not, including the val. Other years the val has top rigor and so do the next 5 students. Rigor matters more than the number. Colleges figure it out and the elite ones can easily tell who games the Gpa with low-rigor easy-AP/DE for the boost. That being said, understanding the math and avoiding taking unnecessary regular electives that do not add to the overall picture is the way to go. Play the game the right way.[/quote]

Thank you for posting and it really helps to understand that it works out in the end. Glad your kids have done so well!
I have to think about gaming in such a weird way now I guess lol. Which I hate. But it is what it is.  -OP[/quote]
