[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so over people saying highest rigor and all the things.  It is getting so absurd. [/quote]

Why are you “over” it? Because your kid does not want to? Guess what there are hundreds of colleges that do not expect highest rigor. UVA expects it slightly less than ivies, and has slightly more wiggle room. Hundreds of amazing colleges with great educations exist in the US. If you are over the highest rigor and all the other stuff it takes to be competitive for about 20-25 schools, then don’t play the game! It is such a small fraction of colleges that want all this. Degrees from those schools are not necessary for a successful life. Sure they give a leg up in some fields and in some niche areas of broader fields, but guess what to do these niche things your kid would have to be the competitive mindset type who chase high goals relentlessly. The students who end up at the elite places often would have taken all the hard classes anyway. They love the challenge. 
Let the ones who want it chase it. Don’t push anyone to do it if it is not who they are as a student. [/quote]
