OP here. Yeah this is how it felt. We asked if it would be looked down upon to forgo AP foreign language to instead take a second AP science (child’s interest) and were basically told yes but we were welcome to try to explain it. But the woman was about 25 and didn’t even go to UVA so I was wondering if she even actually knew. I’ve definitely heard/read of unhooked students going to UVA without AP foreign language. [/quote]

Why would it matter where the AO went to college? Sounds like you didn’t like her answer but they make the rules, not us. [/quote]

+1. I also thought that jibe was weird. “I wondered if the person employed by UVA admissions knew what UVA wants in admissions since they didn’t attend the university.” Why would anyone who attended UVA know more about what the admissions department looks for than someone employed by the admissions department?[/quote]
