Thank you![/quote]

You are welcome! I wanted to mention, I am not sure if your child is interested in UVA- but our school counselor did tell us that UVA is a bit different than W&M because UVA wants the highest AP courses in the main subjects- math, science, english, lang/history. She told us that our daughter was inadmissible for UVA due to the no AP Calc, but W&M she had a shot. Our daughter was also told by her Regional Rep from W&M that in NOVA you are basically competing with the kids from your HS to get in. She also applied ED. [/quote]

If your school counselor really said this they need to be fired.   It is categorically untrue that without AP Calculus you are “inadmissible” to UVA.  It’s better to have it, sure, but it is not an admissions requirement.  As for W&M; until a few years ago they actually said on their admissions website that they wanted Calculus.  They don’t say that anymore.  [/quote]

No disrespect at all, but for our high school-- this is true. I don't know anyone who got into UVA without it. And to be very blunt- many very strong students who did have all the top AP classes didn't get in either.  I was really surprised at the kids who did not get into UVA this year. Very great stats etc. [/quote]
