[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the stats of the UVA  EA kids? [/quote]

Depends heavily on your school - classes offered, rigor of student's schedule, relative performance of student (including test scores, if supplied). Even if your student's school doesn't rank officially, AOs can compare academic rigor and performance of students within the context of the school. UVA was test optional this year but I would be surprised if they don't at least shift to test preferred for next year.

There are a lot of threads about UVA in the search but upshot is that they like an advanced schedule (if available) of AP/Advanced/IB type of classes in the core subjects - English, World Language, Math, Science (Chem/Physics/Bio), History. Most successful students take an AP Calculus or beyond. [b]Other AP classes are fine to take but are not considered core (such as Env Science[/b], Research, Psychology).

You are just making stuff up. UVA definitely considers APES a core science. My DC just got in with this science progression: honors bio, honors chem, honors physics, APES. Private school that requires the honors version of a bio, chem or physics before the AP version. [/quote]

Disagree that UVA considers APES at the same rigor as AP Bio, AP Chem, and AP Physics. Dean J has been clear on that for years but always is quick to note that it depends on school offerings etc. [/quote]

Strong agree. Private-school Dean of counseling told the top 1/4 students not to take APES as the AP science (after bio, chem, physics) if targeting UVA or higher(T20). The T10 chasers usually took two of AP physC , Chem or Bio in addition to the high-school level bio, chem, physics as well as AP literature and APUSH, AP foreign language, and BC calc or MV as a senior.  
Every high school is different. [/quote]

My DC took APES and AP Calc AB senior year and just got into UVA EA. DMV private school. [/quote]
