[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was just accepted ED to W & M.  It was very clear from her application that she will not be a STEM major. 
She took Alg 1 honors in 8th grade, Geom Honord in 9th, Alg 2 Honors in 10th and nonhonors Precalculus and Applied Calc in 11th and 12th.  She got As and Bs.
She took 8 AP classes and has an above 4.0 but not amazing GPA.  She has participated in the highest academic level classes and has a long experience with activities related to her potential major.  She attends a FCPS HS that is well-regarded as being an academically strong school.

I cannot speak to future STEM majors or to UVA expectations, but it is possible to get in to W&M without killing yourself over math.[/quote]

Thank you for this post. We'll be looking at W & M too. 
DC and I were discussing the Math path today.  
DC is currently in HN Pre-calc.  Has made A or A- in Math so far but he will not be a STEM major. He will go into Humanities. 
We are considering Applied Calculus for 11th grade, along with 3 APs, 2 DEs and 1 HN (Science).
He will likely end up with 8 APs by end of HS.

You're right about not killing yourself over Math. I'm just really encouraged that scaling back on Math is doable.
