Rigor of HS classes?

Applying to College
1

<p>I know it is important to maintain a challenging schedule of courses throughout high school, but I was not thinking about college at all until junior year, so my freshman and sophomore courses are not as rigorous. My high school did not offer many APs for freshmen and sophomores though. Would my HS schedule be considered "rigorous"? Would getting all A's in these classes mean I have a 4.0 unweighted? My HS calculates GPA on a different scale, so I have no clue what my GPA on a 4.0 scale is.</p>

<p>I don’t think that they would count it against you that you did not take AP classes until junior year. You took the Honor’s classes. Check in with your counselor about which box she will check when submitting college apps (most rigorous etc…). At my D’s school, you can only take Pre AP courses in freshmen and sophomore year. AP’s are reserved for juniors and seniors.</p>
