[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]When UVA routinely accepts only 30 students out of a graduating class of 580 seniors, who are virtually all college-bound, this is the result. The competition is insane. Much better results for students, at all levels, applying out-of-state.[/quote]

Is there a NoVA high school that requires every single senior to apply to UVA? How do they manage that?  At my kid's FCPS school, it's about 110-140 applicants each year and more than a third of them are accepted.

My senior took Algebra I in 8th grade and is not taking any type of calculus this year.  Somehow, DC is still getting accepted to colleges (OOS flagship types). DC will probably need one semester of simplified calculus class for her major, and will likely need to take College Algebra first. I expect that DC will still make it through college somehow. Not everyone wants to be an engineer or go to UVA. (DC is not even applying in state).[/quote]

Thank you for sharing this...it is good to know that not all is lost for my 7th and 10th graders.  Not all kids get a solid grasp of the concepts when they are fast tracked.  Certainly 18 is not "too old" to learn calculus.  [/quote]
