[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]She is likely not going to get in to UVA because she does not want to do four years of a language. She is dyslexic and will have theee years of ASL (common accommodation for dyslexics) but it taps out after junior year. She wants to take another science or math for senior year instead of beating her head against a brick wall trying to take year 1 of some other foreign language. [/quote]

Just chiming in on the language. DS has speech apraxia and has no foreign language or ASL. He’s a high stats NMSF and included an additional essay in his Common App explaining his speech apraxia and issues with expressive speech as barriers for FL. Instead he took other electives (humanities/social sciences) and his counselor also addressed it in his recommendation letter.

He’s been accepted to several schools including Purdue EA.  So don’t give up on UVa![/quote]

This is great to hear! Thank you for letting me know, and congrats and best wishes to your son as well! [/quote]

Same to you and your daughter! [/quote]
