They can say it on the CDS and on their website but it’s not true - they accept practically everyone and your scholarship is based on your unweighted GPA in core subjects. Perhaps it’s true for Honors, etc. but for admission it’s not true at all - or their interpretation of rigor differs from what you or I probably thinks of as rigor.
So yes you need to hit the minimum core topics - but it’s a very easy admit - and you are penalized merit wise if, for example, you take an AP and get a B.
