<p>Kwon (& everyone else) - Tech likes to see that you’ve taken the most challenging courses offered at your school. Also, the area from VA has a bit of an impact on the admission decision.</p>
<p>As far as weighting - I believe most schools (in NOVA and Richmond especially) weigh around an extra .5 for AP/IB classes and such. However, in other areas of VA, there are places that give up to 1-2 extra points, and some that only give less than .1 extra for IB/AP classes. That’s where the area you’re from kinda comes into play.</p>
