How does my course rigor look?

gibby, do you think this course rigor then should suffice for an Ivy League?



As Pancaked said, the most selective colleges want students who have taken the “most demanding” courses their high school has to offer, so taking 13 out of 17 AP courses would seemingly qualify for “most demanding” – but check with your guidance counselor. If your ACT/SAT and two subject tests match your GPA and course rigor, you would certainly be a qualified applicant to a selective college, including the eight ivy league schools. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess as to how you would fare, as so much of the college applications process is subjective and comes down to how an Admissions Director “feels” after comparing your transcript, teacher recommendations, essays and EC’s to everyone else who is applying. Best of luck to you!
