[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]B's dont tell the story either. You need to be in the "most rigorous courses" that is common at your HS.

UVA is among the more predictable ones. Criteria is

1. Top 5% of class at most HS (top 20% at TJ) by GPA

2. You have taken the most rigorous courses that is reasonably possible at your HS

3. 4 years of FL

4. SAT/ACT above median at UVA

If you meet all 4 above, you can pretty much be sure of admission.[/quote]

2. To me it was never quite clear what most rigorous mean since a math and science student would be stronger in different subjects than an English student for example.  I think the important thing is to look at rigor as the combination of all your classes.

3. 3 years of FL will not destroy your chance.  Just make sure you make up with more rigor somewhere else.

[b]Most rigorous ~ Max rigor in all core subjects in all 4 years (does not matter if they are math or English student)

3 years of FL will not destroy your chance but you are giving them an easy strike against you[/quote][/b]

+1. Both correct. Your college counselor determines if your kid is taking the “most rigorous” courses and indicates so. Ask your high school counselor is your kid is on target for “most rigorous” designation. They may hem and haw. You should push[/quote]
AOs decide for themselves if something is most demanding. Many counselors check off the top box for everyone. [/quote]
