[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter did take APUSH as a junior, but she didn't take AP CALC or even AP STATS.

I would recommend touring, doing the interview, and apply ED if it's your child's first choice. Mine also pushed herself in her ECs, doing things she didn't necessarily *want* to do, but thought it would help her and help her have a hook. Mine also did had six years of French (including the middle school classes) and took AP French -- again, she didn't want to but our counselor thought it would help her chances at W&M and help make up for the lack of highest math.

Good luck to you!

Thank you![/quote]

You are welcome! I wanted to mention, I am not sure if your child is interested in UVA- but our school counselor did tell us that UVA is a bit different than W&M because UVA wants the highest AP courses in the main subjects- math, science, english, lang/history. She told us that our daughter was inadmissible for UVA due to the no AP Calc, but W&M she had a shot. Our daughter was also told by her Regional Rep from W&M that in NOVA you are basically competing with the kids from your HS to get in. She also applied ED. [/quote]

[b]If your school counselor really said this they need to be fired.   It is categorically untrue that without AP Calculus you are “inadmissible” to UVA.  It’s better to have it, sure, but it is not an admissions requirement.  As for W&M; until a few years ago they actually said on their admissions website that they wanted Calculus.  They don’t say that anymore.  [/quote][/b]

Disagree in the reading of this.  The counselor is looking at OP's kid's record and saying she will not be checking off the "most rigorous" box.[/quote]
