They don't have the time. UVA received close to 50,000 applications this year and has to process that using a small public school admissions office.  The first thing that is done with every application is to mark it for GPA, rank in class (yes they can tell), test scores and "most rigorous".

Then the file is marked for anything else relevant such as URM; first-generation (very big at UVA this year); low-income; blue ridge scholar; Questbridge applicant; athlete or rare talent; international; legacy (doesn't count for much at UVA anymore - I know a lot of legacy families whose high-stats kids did not get in); and "development case" (might the family give over $500K to the school)

Only then and after the file makes those cuts does anyone get around to reading the essays.  The admissions officers don't have the time to look at each transcript.  That's WHY we have the "most rigorous" box.  Who is better suited to check it off than the college counselor? that's why it exists.  [/quote]

[b]You're the poster who is obsessed with pretending you know how admissions work with the "most rigorous" box. Remember that time someone in admissions came in here and told you that you were wrong? You got all huffy? They kept explaining all the problems with your posts? That was awesome.

Definitely not me.  must be someone else posting about the "most rigorous" box. It exists.  Here's a discussion from College confidential on it. https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/most-rigorous-box-odd-situation/1340191[/quote]
