<p>When Pitt looks at rigor of schedule how much honor/AP classes do they want? I took all regular but 2 honors in math and social studies till junior year. Got A’s in math ones, but social studies i got C and D. Apparently i found out i am better suited for science rather than social studies. So next year all regular except math and science. Then senior year AP in math and science and pyschology with everything else regular. How will my rigor of schedule look to Pitt?</p>

<p>Pitt ranks rigor of courses as one of the most important things to look for in a student.</p>

<p>It depends on how many you can comfortable take and obviously how many your school offers. Generally the idea is that if your courseload is lighter (less honors/APs) they expect a higher GPA and vise-versa (that is, if you have a harder courseload, they will be more lenient on your GPA).</p>
