With the recent changes to the college admissions landscape, academic rigor is perhaps more important than ever. The movement toward test-optional admissions has made the process more qualitative than quantitative. University and college counselors are not simply looking to see if an applicant has a certain test score or has properly completed the application. They are now reading the essays and transcripts more thoroughly, looking to see if students have challenged themselves throughout high school. This reality may leave students (and parents) wondering, what classes should I take in high school? How can I show colleges that I have challenged myself and am college-ready? Private college counseling expert Dr. Bethany Schweitzer offers wisdom and insight into this question and more.
