<p>Right now I am a sophomore in high school. The classes in my junior and senior years is a predicted schedule.</p>

<p>Course rigor is considered within the context of what your school offers and what the top students take. Your HS GC will check a box on the CA indicating that your schedule is: most demanding, very demanding, demanding, average, below average.</p>

<p>Thank you for replying. I’m pretty sure this is the most that my school has to offer (or at least what I can fit in my schedule). In your opinion what do you think of my schedule.</p>

<p>If you are taking the most your school has to offer, you are fine. However, your GPA will be compared to all other students at your school who have similar rigor in their course load. If other students do significantly better (and you haven’t said exactly how you were doing) that could negatively impact your chances, as it’s all relative.</p>

<p>I’m doing pretty well with scattered A’s(+'s,-'s,etc.), I probably need to bring up a little bit more( A to A+ range).</p>
