Will this benefit me?

<p>It’s great to take 3 APs in your junior year. What APs do you plan to take as a senior? Does your school offer AP Chem, and is the gifted and talented Chem class a pre-req for that? </p>

<p>Perhaps it’s just the way I read it, but your first post sounded pretty ambiguous about continuing to dance (being pressured to continue into the Dance Company, asking if it was unnecessary) - if you prefer journalism to dance, do that instead. What will you want to study at W & M? It has a dance minor, which my d is enjoying, but no advanced ballet offerings, which she misses. One last nosy question :slight_smile: - are you in or out of state?</p>

<p>It used to be popular to say that schools wanted “well-rounded” students, but I don’t really think that’s true any longer. Schools want well-rounded *classes<a href=“or%20student%20bodies”>/i</a>, made up of people with diverse interests, some of whom are very lopsided in those interests - i.e., they’re all about music or languages or service or dance. Sure, a genuinely BWRK (bright well-rounded kid, in CC-speak) with great stats is appealing to adcoms, but those adcoms are looking for academically qualified lopsided kids, too. Hope W&M Admission will comment on this.</p>
