[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What matters is rigor in the context of the applicant’s school. Is the applicant’s rigor strong relative to peers? Do most students take AP physics? [/quote] DC is missing max rigor in 3 classes - 2 from freshman yr. Older dc was missing max rigor in 1 class from freshman yr. At Ivy now. Most peers do take Advanced Physics so it’s unfortunate it didn’t work out. Just wondering how much of a disadvantage this will ultimately be. [/quote] I think it matters why not. If the class doesn't fit in the schedule because they are taking other similarly rigorous classes in areas of interest, then you're probably fine. I have a kid at a top LAC who didn't take multivariable but did take a rigorous full schedule in other subjects of interest senior year and it worked out fine admissions wise. [/quote] Good point, but how would colleges ever know? Every other class this yr is advanced. [/quote]
