[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think given that your DD is at a competitive public HS she'll likely get compared to students with much higher rigor. It's commendable that your DD is taking math up to calculus, albeit at the standard level. But most of her peers going for Top 50 type schools will all take AP calculus, or at least AP precalculus versus taking both at reg level. Not all APs show rigor or are that impressive. AP Psych and APES that your DD is taking are considered easier APs which are no different than regular level classes in terms of rigor. Econ, History (2), English (2), Spanish APs will all look great. So those 6 APs will be viewed well. Bottom line, her unweighted GPA is high but she is taking easier courses than most in her peer group. I'd apply to 2 ironclad safeties and then focus more on targets vs. reaches.
