[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been a while, but I think the point is still valid. I had two kids attend UVA. They were both very good students in high school, but they didn’t tear the place up either grade wise or SAT wise. The second student was below the 25th percentile on UVA’s SAT range and not only had no hooks - she probably had things going against her. She was a cute blond upper middle class girl from an affluent NOVA suburb and public high school. Dean J has been around forever and even back then she and UVA admissions more generally made clear that grades and course selection are more important than test scores. In our experience that was true. [/quote] My DD was not planning to take AP French senior year but partly due to this general sentiment I think she may do it. She doesn’t want to but doesn’t want it to be a mark against her. Otherwise I think she has the “expected” rigor. We’ll see. [/quote]
