Demanding

[decanela]

<p>I noticed that on the common app there is a box comparing the demand of your transcript to your peers. Is it possible to be accepted to a tier one (ivies & lessers) school with your counselor checking the "very demanding" courseload? (Instead of "most demanding.")</p>

<p>I've taken 6 APs, one college spanish course, and several honors. It has been rigorous & rewarding in my opinion. </p>

<p>What worries me is that I also have classmates taking 10 APs, etc. (Competitive public high school).</p>

<p>Truthfully, in my early years of high school the competition of college admissions never occurred to me. (As naive as that is). I would go straight to my school counselor and ask her instead of you CC lovelies, but she is on leave until september of next year. :(
Any input?</p>

<p>I doubt that most counselors take “most demanding” literally.</p>

<p>The first tier schools that I looked at don’t publish any sort of statistics on this. It may be the same for most schools.</p>
