[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Course rigor Grades Preparation for potential major/career AP scores SAT/ACT scores (if they're strong and school isn't test-blind) Activities (depth and breadth) Leadership Grit Teacher recommendations Counselor recommendations (for understanding of the school community, against which the student is compared) Interviews Demonstrated interest (including virtual events, visits, early decision) [/quote] What is the difference between "course rigor" and "Grit?"[/quote] Course rigor is how challenging the student's overall schedule is and the school's reputation for standards in the course. The regional reps know these things about the schools in their areas. Grit is about the student's courage, resolve, and strength of character. It will be evident in recommendations, essays, the whole picture of what the kid is taking on in and out of school, [/quote]
