It seems clear that this was the strongest class in a decade. Overall, the best college outcomes in recent memory. |

You must be a speechwriter for the current President. |

I have no connection to TJ at all. None. It sure looks like an impressive list to me. There are plenty of kids going to top STEM schools, which is TJ’s focus, and they’re being smart in their choices. Purdue, Michigan, Maryland etc.
You’re also not taking into account the increased economic diversity in the school that I have to assume is one of the results of the new admissions policy. Kids with less money are more likely to take the money and run, presumably turning down higher ranked schools in the process. I see a kid going to VCU for its guaranteed medical school admissions program under a presidential scholarship for example — you have to assume he had other very good options. I’m impressed with the kid who is going to Grinnell to play baseball and major in philosophy. That’s an interesting choice for a TJ grad! The lesson here is to get out of your bubble. You don’t know the circumstances of any of these kids — nor do you know what schools they turned down or their reasons. |

No, that would be a "big, beautiful graduating class". The best ever. |

There is almost a voting going on with the likes, with higher numbers for more selective schools and ones that represent something more adventurous out of state. |

| Were there a lot fewer NMSFs since the change? |

As usual, it was missing a huge number of entries. |

| DD who goes to TJ was just talking about a HS friend who got into Penn, CMU and is going to Mason because $$. Where they are going isn’t only where they got in. |

This is quite a change. For the Class of 2023 was 44 to UVA, 24 to W&M, 23 to VT, and 5 to GMU. If you go back to 2010, it was 91 to UVA, 60 to W&M, and 30 to VT. |

| I've seen a fair number of posts on social media from TJ Class of 2025 graduates expressing how much they hated TJ and how glad they are that they'll never see TJ again. Knowing how much attention TJ sucks up, and how many extras TJ students get compared to students at other schools, I found the posts annoying. |

Annoying? Strange word choice. Concerning, maybe, or disheartening. TJ students get extras but also many have a terrible experience. How can it be improved for those? |
