<p>Just wondering, if your school doesn't offer any APs or IBS or Honours, and your counselor was rating your schedule, would it be like the most rigorous?</p>
<p>Probably average, but the counselor would explain that there's no AP, IB, or honors courses available.</p>
<p>If it is average, how would you ever get it up to "most rigorous" ?! BUMP! and also, if you take AP classes at a community college, could you notify your counselor about that?! would that boost up your "course rigour" or is it only the class schedule?!</p>
<p>You don't get it up to "most rigorous." Ask your GC what s/he would do if you took CC credits though. </p>
<p>You can't take AP classes at a community college. That would ruin the point of a community college being able to offer direct college credit (at least, I personally have never seen AP classes offered at a CC).</p>
<p>"Most rigorous" is supposed to be in relation to what your school offers. If no AP courses are offered and you took all honors, you would be considered most rigorous. That's the reason that question exists: if it were just asking for how rigorous your schedule were regardless of what courses were offered, they might as well just look at your transcript themselves (which they already do) :).</p>

This. He's right; it's considered relative to your school and your peers. You could have Algebra I and bio regular in 11th grade and it can count as "most rigorous" if everyone else takes Algebra I in 12th grade.</p>
