What signs? Dean J has repeatedly said mid-Feb, including in a comment she posted today on CC. It is also listed as mid-Feb on the website. Last two years are not a good indicator since there was no ED those years.

Also wondering this. I've been stalking all of Dean J's platforms and have seen no sign of a Jan 31 release. Wish it was so, but...

Wow, what a pretentious asshole thing to say.

Lol, this the PP that made the Wow comment above. Post I was referencing has been removed. So my comment is now out of context and seemingly references the line above it. But very glad the post I was commenting on is now gone!

For instate that does not sound right. Nobody with those stats has not gotten in as per our public HS naviance. UVA is not big on yield protection either. Not being snarky but since this is not your kid, is your friend upfront about the stats?

. But SCHEV statistics for entering class last fall had the 75th median percentile at 4.47. Stats are changing that fast

Any UVA admissions statistic older than two years is no longer valid. Competition has ramped up dramatically, especially in-state...

3.99 is very different than 4.5.

I think sometimes parents/students forget that UVA will only take a certain number of kids from TJ, and that some of the kids at TJ have to be the bottom 80 percent of the class, despite all the students being stellar students going in.

Someone has posted the info here before that shows UVA admits over a hundred from TJ. Something like 70 attended. There’s no way they have a limit.

Why would a STEM student from TJ want to go to UVA?

Because they like it there. They see an opportunity that is attractive to their needs/wants. The end.

Yes, I remembered. Like close to 200 TJ kids got UVA admitted, but only 70 attend.

Indeed.

Your kid will be fine without UVA. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Yeah, but you won’t be able to run it in UVA gear.

If you can’t get into UVA.. it is highly unlikely you’ll ever have a successful career or life, TBH. A top education is a huge predictor of overall success in LIFE. I wish people took it more seriously than they do. There is really no excuse with the resources available to students.

The number of students from TJ has been going down over time. From the school magazine, there were 37 in 2019.
