[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the perspectives. FWIW, this was a college counselor from FCPS talking about UVA. My DD wants to go to UVA or VA Tech. I found it interesting that this particular person thought that my DD did not have enough AP classes to be in the running for admission to UVA. Whatever. She's still going to apply and will just wait and see what happens![/quote]

So your kid is in FCPS and competing with kids who will have maybe 14 APs including those in social sciences. Depending on the major your kid wants, this is going to have an impact on her making her mark at UVA against these other in-state FCPS kids. You should talk again to the counselor at your school or another one. [b]I suspect they are not completely off the mark.[/b] [/quote]

OP here.  Perhaps they are not off the mark. But my DD has a 1520 SAT and is a highly accomplished athlete. I think she has a lot going for her and would definitely have a shot at getting admitted to UVA. I'm going to support her decision to apply (and be irrationally annoyed at the counselor :)).[/quote][/b]

OK, but as a pp pointed out, the 75th percentile of students entering UVA last year had a 4.53.  So 12 AP courses in most rigorous subjects and a 35 ACT..  So maybe your high school college counselor is telling you that compared to other students in her own class, she isn't cutting it for UVA?[/quote]
