UVA must wonder why so many parents from Fairfax County refuse to let the helicopter land, since they recommend 5 years of foreign language and 5 years of math, science and social studies. Last I checked, HS was 4 years.
Anyway, back to the OP. I think something was lost in the translation is the GC is advising students (or are not correcting misinformation) to skip FL in junior year to take as a senior. I am 100% positive that no college official said that this was a good idea.
