[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ -To be marked as "most rigorous" for college applications you must be a diploma candidate (again, this may be Robinson-specific” I often wondered about this-but suspected it! I have heard UVA (Dean J) say multiple times they look at which HL classes a student takes-so yes, I think it’s important to take math/science/english as your HLs.[/quote] NP and we are not at Robinson but our experience with teaching IB candidates vs those who only took a few IB classes here and there is that W&M puts a lot of weight on IB candidates but UVA values high GPA more. In other words, we’ve seen many UVA admits where a non-IB kid with above a 4.3 will get into UVA in favor of an IB diploma kid with a 4.0-4.3, whereas WM will select IB kids with 4.1 and above and non-IB kids with 4.4+ So just tell your kid that the As matter![/quote]
