| Although this only accounts for 130 people out of about 480, or only about 27% of the class. |
Are they afraid to post the rest? Are they ashamed? |
Really? |
NP - yes, really. It doesn't look that different at all. |
Post the acceptances of the "W" school. BS otherwise. |
Found the complete "Acceptances" for class of 2013: (9 or less acceptances are not shown) Class of 2013 College Acceptance Data 99 percent of the Class of 2013 were accepted to and are attending a four-year college or university. (Listing reflects schools where ten or more students were accepted). College Accepted University of Virginia 195 College of William and Mary 190 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University 104 George Mason University 57 Virginia Commonwealth University 40 Cornell University 37 University of Michigan 31 Carnegie Mellon University 29 Georgia Institute of Technology 29 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 29 University of Maryland, College Park 27 University of Pittsburgh 25 Drexel University 24 James Madison University 23 Pennsylvania State University, University Park 22 Case Western Reserve University 20 Washington University in St. Louis 19 Princeton University 18 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 17 Duke University 16 Purdue University 15 The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 15 Vanderbilt University 15 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 12 University of California at Berkeley 12 California Institute of Technology 11 Georgetown University 11 Brown University 10 Dartmouth College 10 Rice University 10 Rochester Institute of Technology 10 The George Washington University 10 |
| So in general kids there days apply to about 9 schools, assuming the top students got into all 9 these numbers are high because it is acceptance not matriculation, is that correct? |
None of this is official and you probably won't believe me, but (about) 4 kids are going to Princeton, 3 to Stanford, 1 to Yale, 6 to Cornell, 5 to Duke, 2 to Brown, 1 to Caltech, 1 to Columbia, 4 to UChicago, 8 to Vandy, 4 to Wash U, 4 to Penn, 5 to Berkeley, 5 to Hopkins... I expected way better from TJ considering they're a magnet school and have a bigger class. I have no idea where his classmates got in, just where they're going. |
| Also what is not disclosed is the amount of merit-based financial aid provided. |
+1 I agree. From so called #1 school in the country, not very impressive. |
+1 Yawn. |
Money plays a major role for many TJ grads and some choose UVA/W&M over Ivy schools but typically the TJ grads attend as follows based on past several years: About 90 attend UVA, about 60 attend W&M, about 40 attend VaTech, about 45 attend Cornell, about 43 attend Michigan, about 28 attend CMU, about 15 attend Princeton, about 14 attend MIT, about 7 attend UC Berkeley, about 9 attend Stanford, about 17 attend Duke, about 7 attend Yale, about 8 attend Brown, about 8 attend Dartmouth, about 6 attend Columbia, about 7 attend Penn, about 7 attend Chicago, about 6 attend Hopkins, about 10 attend Georgetown, about 4 attend Caltech, about 5 attend Northwestern, about 14 attend Vanderbilt, about 6 attend Harvard and the rest to other schools and service academies etc. so two schools do not look similar. |
That's nice but that's not what this data says. |
| And money obviously plays a factor for everyone...people choose UMD's Banneker/Key over more selective schools constantly. |

This list is very incomplete. A number of schools I know kids are going to are mentioned on here.
