| More TJ kids are choosing to attend Cornell and Michigan each year over "better" schools since they seem to be generous with merit based scholarship money compared to other top schools. |
| Arguably TJ has the best college acceptance results of any high school in the country largely due to UVA and William and Mary. Also, TJ sends the most number of students in the country to Princeton and MIT based on the last five years results. |
| I think TJ also send the most students to Cornell and Michigan. |
| Looks like "W" school lost out. |
How so? |
Posters were saying "I have to say the # of people going to top schools doesn't look that different from the non-magnet "W" school my son attends in Montgomery County...", "I agree. From so called #1 school in the country, not very impressive" and "NP - yes, really. It doesn't look that different at all." and others were saying "W" school is not similar to TJ regarding college acceptances. So, "W" school lost that argument. I attended Blair so I have lot of respect for Montgomery County schools but looks like "W" school is not in the same league as TJ. |
| The numbers show kids accepted or attending? If attending, it IS impressive... If accepted, not much so. |
Cornell gives need-based aid only, not merit aid. TJ students choose to attend Cornell over "better" schools because, among the Ivies, Cornell has the highest rated engineering program. |
I think Princeton's may be ranked higher, but Cornell is still near the top. |
Cornell is. P is not known for engineering. |

| Oh, and 7 to Yale. |
| Thanks TJ guidance counselor. BTW, I did find it interesting. |
| How many UVA acceptances does Langley have each year just for comparison? |
