[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10-12 APs?! Jeez. Sounds impossible to get in.[/quote]

Nah.  My kid hit that pretty easily, without being some overstressed, study at midnight, brilliant academic rockstar.

10: World History and Human Geo
11: APUSH, European, English Lang,  Latin
12:  Macro, Micro, English Lit, US Gov, Comp Gov

That’s 11. Clearly a humanities kid. Not doing anything special at her HS— in fact, stood out in her class for avoiding AP STEM classes (took non-AP Calc) and piling on the humanities.  The key for her was going for literally every AP in her area of interest and not struggling for a year (maybe with tutoring) to pull out a kinda okay grade in math or science.

34 ACT, which hits Langley’s media

Attending WM. Did not apply to UVA. [/quote]

[b]WM is much, much easier to get into.[/b] [/quote]

Not much, much easier.  My friend's daughter got into UVA but not W&M. [/quote]

This happens often, but we usually only hear from the other side, so people tend to think that UVA is a better school - in most cases, UVA is not a better school than WM.[/quote]

Delusional. W&M is inferior to UVA, everyone knows this[/quote]
A boring debate.  Apples Oranges.  Both are fantastic schools.  Some apply to both, some don't.  Some are accepted by both, some not.  Why must we snark[/quote]

This is something I just don't understand.. why the contentiousness?  Why the constant bashing of which school is better?

My kid planned only to apply to these 2 schools. 
Got in ED in one of them, but would have been fine attending the other. 
The ED one was a better fit personality-wise, and the other one would have taken more time to fit into but as DC said, either would have been just fine.
