[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got into UVA back in the 1990s and didn’t have AP World or AP Gov’t. [/quote] Things have changed significantly in the past 25 years. If you step into the College forum, you'll see a lot of parents that went to really good schools (including ivies) acknowledge that they wouldn't get in these days. UVA is explicit about the 'rigor' box being checked for them to consider a student. It doesn't matter what their potential major, they have to take APs in all the core courses (English, History, Science, Math). Hence kids taking 15 APs just to be competitive at freaking UVA.[/quote] Well I guess we will take our chances or settle for JMU or VCU then. My kid isn’t going to kill himself taking 15 APs. He’ll take a couple junior year and senior year. [/quote]
