[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are wrong. You need most rigorous. It’s everywhere in the materials

well explain why my kids are there and did not take AP Calc BC, AP Physics or AP Chem?[/quote]

Or why my kid from a school referred to on here as a “Big 3” who did take AP Calc BC, AP PhysicsC, etc. even though he asked plied as a humanities major did not get in, despite having literal straight As, when other kids who avoided those classes and took the less rigorous ones but earned higher As did get in?  GPA seems to be the most determinative factor, but my DC also has 35 ACT and the counselor told DC they were going to use DC’s activities on the Common App as a model for the next class.

I know what Dean J says, and I know it’s not 100% true.  [/quote]

Is this STA? I'm trying to figure out how you would know a kid had "higher As" than all As and I guess you mean A pluses. 
If so, this is sobering that an STA kid with all As in top courses (your son) did not get in to UVA.  In my kid's grade there are only 
a handful of kids who will even take AP Physics C and even less who have an all-A transcript.  Yakut kid would be amount the top 5 kids. [/quote]
