Do colleges know about limit of high school courses?

<p>I was wondering because my sister came home today from an NJIT freshman orientation sleepover thing. She said that there were kids there who are taking AP Calculus II. In my school, the highest math course is AP Calculus…just one, not two. And there’s no AP English or Social Studies.</p>

<p>If a college looks at two students like this case, how do they know that my high school doesn’t offer Calculus II or something? Won’t they think I decided not to take a hard course?</p>

<p>your HS sends a profile listing the course available, along with average SAT scores, and other stats…with the transcript,. simple</p>

<p>Ohh, I didn’t know that :o</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>And your guidance counselor gets to tell the colleges whether your courseload is “most demanding”, “very demanding,” “demanding,” or “not demanding” (I think those are the choices?)</p>

<p>As citygirlsmom said, your school profile generally reports such information.</p>

<p>And, for the record, there isn’t a College Board-endorsed AP Calc II. Perhaps they meant AB Calc and BC Calc?</p>
