[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not having one class will rarely not get you in. Calc is an exception as most schools really want to see it. As pp stated it is almost required for uva. Are there exceptions? Always. But the general rule is to take all five core classes all four years. If you don’t want to take apush try to replace with another AP or de history. I respect the pp that said her kid is replacing with more science and understands that night but be ok everywhere. Also take into account what peers at your school are taking. Just make sure you replace it with something meaningful. W&M is truly holistic. I think you will be ok esp ED. My kid is headed there this fall. Fell in love during older brother’s tour and decided to ED. [/quote]

At my DC's school, the counselors signal what courses are needed in order for the counselor to check the "most demanding" level on the counselor's college submission for a student.  At DC's school, there are sometimes reasons they would still check "most demanding" without APUSH, but almost no reason they would check that level of rigor without calculus.  And for un-hooked students at some schools, that designation can be very important.   But if the counselor is saying APUSH is needed, you may want to understand if it is so they can designate highest rigor.[/quote]
