Rigor is determined by what box the GC clicks on their recommendation. They know what is considered rigorous for the student’s particular school and that is the only fair way to do it because there is no way to compare across schools with vary so drastically. In my D’s independent school, they have almost no AP courses and are moving toward completely eliminating them. Despite this, they are very competitive in Ivy League admissions. Any interpretation of rigor must come from the GC.
