Keep in mind that the admissions officer doesn’t know which of your courses were required by the curriculum and which you chose as electives. They can make guesses, but there’s typically no indication on the transcript. What they’re doing more than anything is counting units of subjects. 4 math? Good. 4 science? Great. Just 2 language? What did you do instead of another 2 of language? 1 basketweaving and 1 woodshop? Oh dear.
