Adding one class sounds neato until you get into the details.
The issue I have is that the requirements are above and beyond any other college’s. Unless a HS routinely sends students to SLO, when would a student find out about such things? Certainly not early in the HS career. So senior year they are scrambling to double up on English and squeeze in an art class? At the expense of a course that Stanford may recommend?
The other issue I have is colleges that have requirements that are physically impossible to do given HS requirements. I could not have completed SLO’s. ( or Harvard’s) recommendations given my HS requirements for art, music, pe, religion without doing course overload or summer school, each of which has drawbacks. Other high schools have a computer science requirement and / or a classical plus modern language requirement. And if you have course conflicts, as is comon, the student now thinks they’re screwed.
But we are wayyyyy off topic
