Rigorous enough to do what?

Honors classes, with a few AP classes, is probably a more rigorous schedule than than most high school students who are successful in college. It’s roughly comparable to my D’s junior year schedule and she’s graduating from a T10 engineering school this year.

Is it rigorous enough to impress admissions officers at Caltech and MIT? Probably not. But that’s true for 99% of high school students.

Yes, colleges see your senior year schedule and the courses you are taking. Focus on earning the best grades you can in your current classes, take a set of rigorous courses corresponding to your preparation and ability senior year, and look for colleges appropriate to your preparation. There will likely be many very good colleges at which you will be a good fit.
