If you didn’t really take the most rigorous course load that you could, having your guidance counselor write a rec that you have is LYING. Especially if you’re dropping classes.

It looks better to take difficult classes and make B’s than taking easier classes and making A’s. The same goes for ranking. Even if you’re ranked #1, if you could have gone to a more competitive school and ranked lesser, it would also look better.

It’s a huge advantage to be competitive in the school that you are in now, but it would be a disadvantage if you went somewhere else, but you had the ability to stay at the previous school.
