You were critical of my post calling this a “game” and that is just not true. It is high stakes and a strategy of skipping a couple to focus on ones that count is good strategy. The concern that the college might not like it definitely falls behind maximizing credits and reducing the cost of college. There may have been some snark intended, but your glossing over financial and credit implications and making light of any game strategy is misplaced.
I agree that colleges won’t care. Games are played all of the time, whether it be strategy to choose an early decision at a certain school or taking AP exams. These kids are playing for high stakes. I never implied “games” as some form of shenanigans and believe my post explained that well. You chose to take a phrase out of context.
