[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Supposedly they don't look at the transcript.

My child is in the most advanced math but did get an A- in history last year and we are at a top feeder so I'm not sure if it means the child is out. So they really should take the transcript into account.

Colleges definitely do look at rigor.[/quote]

Huh? If they’re not looking at the transcript, then that’s laughably easy to game. They can’t be that stupid… right?[/quote]

Game how?  The middle school verifies the GPA and that the kid is at least in Algebra I Honors in 8th grade with the required number of Honors/AAP classes in the other subjects.  [/quote]

If they're not looking at the transcript, can't you just take the easiest classes that will pass the cutoffs, get A's, and be ranked ahead of someone else who takes harder classes but doesn't get quite as good grades? (e.g. kid A, with an A in Alg. 1 Honors, gets placed above kid B, with an A- in Precalc Honors)[/quote]
