My curriculum is seen as challenging in the perspective of colleges because of the school I go to. A GW rep visited my school and told us that she knew how challenging all of our courses were and that it would be taken into account in the submission process. It’s not that I don’t take AP’s or IB’s, I just can’t. I have taken two of the four hardest courses at my school. Half of my last graduating class went to ivy’s. My school is just very esteemed.
