[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op can your kid drop some of these de classes and replace  ap classes.[/quote]

+1000  This is the best advice for OP. Good that DC had some DE under their belt. But moving forward focus 100% on AP, [b]DE is only useful if used [b]on top of a full load AP exams[/b] (as opposed as AP substitute or 50-50 DE-AP)[/b][/quote]

OP there are a number of different posters who are all saying similar. Please listen. Some of us work in this field. We see it every year with disappointed parents who do not understand why their kid did not get in to VT, UVA despite high scores. Top public colleges know the high schools in the state and they care about various course tracks. [/quote]

My DD will be attending UVA. She took mostly AP but [b]took DE Gov due to a scheduling conflict with AP Gov[/b].

Also wanted to add that at the UVA prospective student info session last year, a parent asked if UVA had a preference for DE vs AP and got a resounding “n[b]o it does not make a difference.[/b]” Just thought that was interesting. [/quote]

Again they have to say that. especially in some regions of virginia where there is no AP option, DE is the top option. 
True scheduling conflicts are not a problem. [/quote]
