<p>Im currently in 10th grade but Im in all standard classes. My schedule is messed up and it seems like it can't be fixed. How bad will this seem to top colleges? We aren't allowed to take AP's but there are some students in honors English and in Chemistry while I'm not. If I still get a 3.8-4.0 this year, how bad will this look to them?</p>
<p>Course rigor is very important.
You need to take the most rigorous courses in your junior year (if you want to apply to top colleges.)</p>
<p>It’s quite important. Junior (and senior) year is more important than sophomore year, though. Make sure to get straight A’s, though, if you want to go to top colleges; a B in a regular level course is something to avoid.</p>
