[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the APUSH thread:

[QUOTE]25 pages across three years and we come to the same conclusion every single time. [b]UVA likes to see strong courses in every subject, but there are exceptions to every rule that this forum can cook up[/b].[/QUOTE][/quote]

Yeah “cooked up” admits that actually occurred. Eye roll. Those admits are no less deserving. [/quote]
What are you talking about? The post is basically saying that for every rule this forum comes up with, there are exceptions. People here say you neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed four years of language, but then AOs themselves and other comments contradict that. [/quote]

Of course there are exceptions, but Dean J has said year after year, they want rigor in all five areas in high school, which includes a foreign language. She doesn't say "must have" so there will be admits who don't have four years in high school.

OP: don't get confused that:

a. bc there are exceptions it means that UVA doesn't really care about this (meaning, this isn't a myth going around that UVA wants 4 HS years of FL);

b. your kid's 4 years, inc two in middle school, will satisfy what UVA considers rigor in FL;

c.  your kid can still get in without four years, but it will be considered in light of the remainder of the app

d.  other kids are taking FL and don't like it and they also have plenty of other rigorous courses - don't think those kids are choosing FL OR rigor in other areas.

Will your kid have finished 4 years of a FL or 3 if takes no more? For many in FCPS, 2 years in middle school = 1 year of HS FL. That's why I'm asking.[/quote]
