[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why this is so hard to grasp, or why this needs to be parsed nine ways to Sunday: 1) UVA is a competetive school for which to be admitted. 2) Given 1), the way to make yourself stand out is to have a stellar résumé. 3) The way to have a stellar résumé is to take the most challenging classes your school offers and do well in them. 4) And yes, that may include pursuing a foreign language as far as you can. That's it, that's the formula.[/quote] 100% It is the formula for UVA all the way up to Stanford. They all expect it. Students who do not want to will not likely fit well at UVA or any other T25. The reason people slice and dice it is they want a loophole so their kid doesn’t have to do #3. Many kids do not want #3, or they want to hear exceptions or ways to explain why their kid did not do #3. These rarely work. [/quote] This thread is about #4 not #3[/quote]
