[quote=Anonymous]The details of the transcript are reviewed for rigor, but the designation for a given applicant seems to be a big-picture one.

My kid is at a T10 with only 3 years of foreign language - thru Spanish 3 - and no DE/AP English. He did have multiple social studies APs with 5s (he can write), had multivariable calc and is a STEM major. I doubt his counselor checked the most rigorous box, though I never asked.

If UVA wanted, they could indicate on their admissions site that APs in all five core subject areas are required. That would also cut in half their application numbers overnight. The website does not state this.

The website states:

[quote]1. Take the best program available to you in your core subjects.
Make sure that your class schedule demonstrates that you are taking advantage of all that your school offers. Talk to your counselor and parents to help determine the right program for you. Colleges will want to see that you are pursuing a strong schedule, but they will also want to see good grades.

What do we mean by the core subjects? Those are English, math, foreign language, social studies, and science.[/quote]

From DeanJ's instagram, albeit a few years ago, 10th slide in the post https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODU3MjE4NzgyMjA1ODE3?igshid=krlux6ebg4wg&story_media_id=2410571039632223712

"To summarize:

1. There is no foreign language requirement for admission to UVA"[/quote]
