[quote=Anonymous]Being from Texas, where fitness for your major is key at UT-Austin, I would have though taking a heavy STEM load (if a STEM kid) and doing things that fit to your major was heavily valued at all schools. The verdict is still out on all schools, and he has had success outside UT Austin. However, still waiting to hear from UVA, but it is a shock to me how much Dean J talks about excelling at all 5 core subjects. She is not looking at fitness for major. She is looking for well rounded-ness. This was kind of a shock to me. But I think the point is...finally getting to the point...is that when you are going through high school, it sure does help knowing what your goal is. If it is UVA, do what they say, if it UT-Austin, do what they say. In many cases, it will work for all colleges, but there are variances and knowing where you are going is very helpful in schedule planning. And then get As in everything. :) [/quote]
