[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Highest rigor" is a designation given by the high school counselor. But this is wildly variable. Some suburban high schools have a gazillion AP offerings. Some rural, urban, and private schools have very few AP classes, or even none at all. But generally, colleges will be familiar with the high school and can figure it out.

As for math, no school - not even MIT - is asking high school students to commute to some community college for a math class. My youngest is gifted in math. But their high school has both Calculus BC and Multivariable. That is good enough for senior year, even at MIT. So time things accordingly and get to the highest level math class available in senior year. No need to go to the community college even for the math nerds.   [/quote]

If you finish the highest offered math classes (or English) at your school before junior or senior year, yes they will expect you to take dual enrollment or online classes so you have 4 yrs of math and English. My child was in this situation and reached out to and Admissions officer at the college the wanted (top 20) and this is what they told her. [/quote]
