49 attending William & Mary, 38 to Virginia Tech...

Why is this a big surprise? A magnet school plus in-state Virginia residents. Who do you think these two schools (and UVA) are going to accept? Kids from Alaska?

The above 3 schools accept kids from other states.

I think it's some what different in that I would be surprised if Michigan accepted 180 applicants from one magnet school in Michigan or UC Berkeley accepted or UCLA accepted 100 to 120 (given there are 2 to 3 top UCs) applicants from 1 California high school.

only tj parents would say something idiotic like this. your knowledge is limited.

What was so idiotic?

Michigan viewed better than UVA? Enough to compensate for the cost difference between two?

Michigan is viewed better than UVA and Michigan offers good amount of merit based aid.

If you have the money, yes. Especially in sciences.

We're OOS for both. Interested in MI but not at all in UVA.

Ten students will matriculate at Duke University.

That's odd about allegedly not being accepted. What, then, was the point of attending this school?

It's still the easiest way into UVA. It's still why most parents push for TJ. Get the student into UVA and then they study something other than STEM.

Typically, most TJ kids who apply to UVA are accepted (roughly 75% to 80%). Glazer said admissions to UVA and W&M were even better this year than last year. Most TJ kids view UVA as a safety or close to safety (except for those in the bottom 1/3).
