Academic Course Choice/ Rigor of Curriculum Some colleges will recalculate your GPA based on their internal scale. They do not expect you to take every AP, honors, or advanced class that is offered at your high school. What they are looking for is intentional challenge in your course selection, so straight A s without rigor suggests a lack of willingness to stretch yourself. Research shows that the courses students take and how well they do in them are two leading indicators of how students will perform in college.
