[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD had a friend who got into UVA but not WM. The WM rejection was surprising. But then not when I did VA state school admissions with my younger kid and learned more about UVA and WM admission. Kid played all the angles on the GPA, like doing PE pass/fail and even junior year French pass/fail (which I didn’t know was allowed until she did it).  Harder classes through online campus during the school year or in summer school.   Really aimed for the easier APs and APs with easier graders. Etc. Every decision was aimed at the GPA.

Because WM is smaller, they can take holistic elements the essay (and optional, but not really essay) seriously and teacher recs. I’m guessing she half assed or skipped the optional essay, had meh recs or something, plus someone in WM admissions saw through the GPA gaming.

At any rate. Don’t take anything for granted. [/quote]

Would you mind saying more about taking harder classes through online campus? I would have thought online campus would be more challenging. Was I wrong about that?

My DD is considering picking up a second language next year (10th grade) by moving her current second language to online campus after school. But I'm not sure how hard it would be to do a foreign language through online campus, or what the workload would look like.[/quote]
