[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some on this forum may not consider UVA a “top college” but my kid got in and  took AP lang in 11th and DE English in 12th, as did many of her UVA-bound classmates. [/quote]

+1. My student, NOVA public with 4.5 and 1560, 9 AP and 4 DE engineering applicant was waitlisted at UVA. Took HONORS English in 11th and 12th over Lang and Lit. [/quote]

If you are coming out of NOVA you need a double digit AP count to be truly competitive.   Sure some will get in with less but double digit AP count is the new norm. [/quote]

By my count, if student took Lang and Lit that would be double digits.[/quote]
Double digits means 10+[/quote]

10 AP’s after Senior year? My kid’s school limits sophomores to 1 AP. Freshman cannot take any. Juniors and Seniors can take as many as they want, but with other requirements 10 AP’s is challenging to hit. But it can be done as long as Seniors take 5 AP’s[/quote]

Some AP courses are only 1 semester (at least at our school), so for example, you can take AP macro and micro in one year, and that is two courses and two tests in the Spring, same with Physics C there are two one semester courses with two tests in the Spring.[/quote]
