<p>I was told by a fellow student, who also wishes to go to UVA, that you have to have taken 4 years of math in high school to get in. I've looked all over the UVA website and I'm not seeing anything about this. I have completed all of the math requirements up to Pre-Calculus but decided against taking Calculus my senior year since I wanted to fit in my extra AP Environmental Science class.</p>
<p>I'm really starting to freak out since the Early Action deadline is next week. </p>
<p>If it is a requirement, hopefully it isn't, will an Independent Study in either Calculus or Statistics be sufficient?</p>
<p>The UVa representative that posts here, Dean J, has stated that they want to see students take core subjects all four years (math, English, science, social studies/history, & foreign language). If a student deviates from this by choice, conflict, or lack of available class, this should be explained.</p>
<p>I took 2 maths and 0 sciences my senior year, didn’t matter. What is your schedule as a whole looking like? That would help us better evaluate whether dropping math will hurt you. It says they want 4 years on this page [Admission</a> | Office of Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“http://www.admission.virginia.edu/admission]Admission”>http://www.admission.virginia.edu/admission)</p>
<p>I have VA & US Government CP, Environmental Science AP, English 12 Dual Enrollment, Photojournalism III, French III, Anatomy & Physiology Honors, and Photojournalism IV. I am also taking an Advanced Spanish independent study next semester.</p>
<p>It would be one thing if you were taking two AP sciences, or not taking Photo journalism, or taking an AP foreign language, but since none of those are the case, I think it will hurt you. However, you should not plan your life around getting into a college that may ultimately reject you anyways (I say this after taking 5 APs and 1 honors class my senior year just to get deferred… changed that up pretty quick after the deferral to 6 study hall sessions per week including 1.5hr lunch on fridays… ended up getting in regular decision but decided what I wanted was more important than what UVA might want). Best of luck with your choice in your schedule.</p>
