<p>Starsky, you hit exactly on my question.
Presumably coaches and college admissions recognize that it is a huge time committment to do well in full schedule of APs OR to become a nationally ranked athlete. To do both is a remarkable feat. So is it necessary to take a “most rigorous” courseload because it is offered, or is it as good to scale it back a bit and take a few APs?<br>
We have a GC conference next week and I guess I will ask the GC which box he will check - above average rigour or most rigour. Since freshman year S (currently junior) has taken 4 APs, 4 Honors, and next year is scheduled for 3 APs. Maybe it’s not enough.</p>
