[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA Dean said it's no a number of AP/IB classes but a whole rounded student. So if you have AP Lang, AP Lit, AP French, AP World History, AP US History, AP US Govt, AP Economics, AP Psch, AP Human Geography, AP Art History and thus have 12 APs it is not more rigorous than the person who took AP Lang, AP Lit, AP French, AP World History, AP Calc BC, AP Physics C who only took 6 but took them across all disciplines. They said it's less about a number and more about a picture whatever that means.

For what it is worth, my kid clearly can't go to UVA as she has severe dyslexia and cannot be successful in writing and reading intensive classes so no AP's in English or SS. Her APs were in math and science. By end of 12th she should have taken 9. Oh well. Other engineering schools will hopefully take her! [/quote]

I think this poster gives a good example of what UVA is likely to consider most rigorous. I guess there could be variations like AP USH instead of AP World or AP Stat instead of AP Calc but you get the idea[/quote]
