[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the high school.  Different schools have different class offerings.  Also, your kid wants to take a sufficient number to be, for example, in the top 10% of the class.

As an aside, I think is daunting to look at admissions numbers and see that the average admitted student to UVa or UMCP from Fairfax or Montgomery county has something like a 4.5 weighted GPA, and then work backwards to see how many APs that requires.[/quote]

OP here. My kid is at Langley. It feels like everyone takes at least 10 AP so that would not be considered rigorous. I hate that my kid is at this pressure cooker school.

The seniors parents I know or the ones who had kids graduate seemed stressed about even getting into UVA with perfect grades. These kids all have 4.5+ GPAs.[/quote]

Remember that the GPAs for the 2022 accepteds to UVA (and others) are the average.  For our HS, it was 4.37.  That is the average, and there were many below and above that.  Many below that.

There are great schools in VA other than UVA and W&M, too.
