Last year, everyone from my son’s high school who applied to Penn got rejected (like 7).

As I have said many times, the plural of anecdote is note data.

What we heard is that when the guidance counselors asked why

The GCs are guessing, since Penn AOs will not provide a reason for rejection.

That said, my opinion (and it’s only an opinion) is that the transcript will be viewed in context and that an AO knows the difference between being on track for AB versus opting for AB despite being eligible for BC. AOs will not ding an applicant because they were not placed on the math fast track in 6th grade or because a particular HS has a curriculum which does not offer BC or does not makes it impossible to reach BC without summer work. While some students will take a summer class to accelerate, there is also something to be said for doing something non-academic, but still productive, over the summer. Welcome to holistic admissions.
