[quote=Anonymous]He definitely should have taken a foreign language. Our senior took Latin all through high school, which I think made a difference in terms of overall rigor. Latin isn't easy and it's the root language for science, medicine, law, etc. Got no rejections. Average SAT score by NOVA standards (no private tutor or prep, timed standardized testing has never been kid's biggest strength) but a very high, competitive GPA weighted with 14 APs, DEs with all As and Bs but mostly As at a large, very diverse public high school. Kid applied to only a very targeted handful of in-state schools except UVA with a specific major and some work experience tailored to said major. Wasn't all that interested in UVA. UVA seems to prefer private school kids for the most part, anyway, so why waste money on the application fee, I guess.[/quote]
