[quote=Anonymous]I somewhat agree with OP. It is a numbers game with students needing both test scores and GPA. Schools post average GPAs, which students and parents seize on as the indicator of how exclusive and desireable the school is. Rigor matters, but I think mostly to the extent it can raise your weighted GPA higher in order to get the school's average up. There are examples where it is more advantageous for a student (in terms of admissions) o focus on GPA rather then taking the most challenging courses, etc. [/quote]
