[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so over people saying highest rigor and all the things.  It is getting so absurd. [/quote]

but it's true. You just don't want to hear it. UVA Deans say it.[/quote]

Dean J on the five core subjects and rigor. http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2019/10/course-rigor-and-curriculum-strength.html?m=1[/quote]
She never says it's required for admission. Everyone knows that UVA and many elite colleges like to see, recommend, or encourage, rigor in all five core subjects. However, ultimately, [i]many[/i] students are accepted without high rigor in each core subject. What none of us are privy to is the decision-making process. "We like this applicant but oops, no fourth year foreign lang. Deny." That is not how it seems to actually play out. There is some level of rigor that is sufficient. Maybe that level is different for different applicants. There is no one-size-fits-all, bright line rule.

My own kid was missing rigor in two subjects - foreign lang (only 3 years/thru level 3) and English (no honors/AP/DE). Attends a T10.[/quote]
