Specific high school courses, which are a prerequisite for college admission, are more stringent than in the past. The elusive “what colleges strongly recommend” over the required coursework can be daunting. Extensive course requirements stand side by side with challenging college entrance examinations, and expectations of a multitude of extra-curricular activities.
