You are correct up to a point, but you can only get honors credit for 8 semester courses, I believe. The problem for those in the highly ranked public and private schools is that you are weighed against others from the same situation as you. They don’t want to let in the kid in the top quarter of the class at Palo Alto High over the kid who was first in his class at a rural high school outside of Bakersfield just because the kid at Palo Alto studied for a year with a private SAT tutor.
