I didn't mean that the classes were equally rigorous they aren't. I meant that according to my understanding, at our HS it is the overall rigor that is assessed and if a student has taken the highest level of classes in every other respect, the fact that he/she ran out of time to take APcalc because of taking a "bridge" class like Math Analysis jr. year to strengthen skills prior to taking precalc Sr. year would not count against them as far as rigor is concerned. The student still took a step up the mathematical ladder and the "most rigorous" box could still be checked.

It may be worth a conversation with your GC. But what I think is the most important thing for kids to do as far as college admissions is concerned is to continue to challenge themselves all four years by taking increasingly difficult coursework.
