[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what we were told by our private college counselor.  There are several “must” APs if your child is in FCPS and is applying to the UVA College of Arts and Sciences:

AP Lang
AP Calc - at least AB 
APUSH (and avoid Online APUSH)
AP World Language

+ a science, like AP Bio, AP Chem or AP Physics.

Then add at least two or three more APs of your choice.  Avoid DE classes in your core classes.  Don’t try to take core classes from the online campus. [/quote]

For a science, APES works too as long as you have taken bio, chem and physics already and you are not STEM.[/quote]

So much wrong.

At least AP Lang junior year ahd AP Lit senior year.  Not just one of the two, and that goes no matter the intended major. At least AP Bio/AP Chem and AP Physics.  Certainly not jut one of them.  The participation rates in these AP classes are published by most nova high schools.  The top 10% of these schools will see their top 10% take on average 8-12 AP's by senior year.

We are talking about gaining admission to UVa.

For social sciences at least 3 of AP world/euro/apush/gov
