[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  To be clear, I never said taking a language all four years was a “requirement.”  I said not taking one was not a “good look.”   And that’s what Dean J’s October post confirms.

Still disagree.[/quote]

SEAS students get away with not taking 4 years of FL.  Anyone saying it's not a problem for Arts and Sciences is kidding themselves.  If UVA is your student's dream school, it is a big mistake to not take 4 years of FL and not to take APUSH if you are from NoVa.  [/quote]

My UVA student did take 4 years of FL.  Did NOT take APUSH.  They were clearly a stem kid and focused on that while also taking high rigor across the board, just not APUSH.  There is always an exception I guess, maybe this is where the holistic admissions really plays in.[/quote]
Why skip APUSH?[/quote]

It’s not needed.  Furthermore it’s a big risk for getting a bad grade on account of how hard it is.[/quote]

You've been warned.  Skip APUSH at your own risk.  [/quote]
