People should give credit where credit is due instead of knocking what is clearly an impressive accomplishment. Let's be honest here. Most people in NVa act like getting into VaTech is like getting into MIT and getting into UVA like it was an acceptance to Harvard!

part of the reason is because your average 3.8/9 from NOVA schools (including private) can't get into UVA or VT without some sort of hook.

If you add this up you get to about 130 seniors, so it's a partial list.

If the list were complete, the variety of top schools and the number of seniors going to certain schools would compare very favorable to any non-magnet W school in Montgomery County, which sends many kids to Maryland-College Park, UMBC and Montgomery College. I suspect you're looking at this, seeing one kid identified as heading off to Dartmouth, and then saying to yourself "heck, a kid from Whitman is going there, too."

And what is the GPA scale again?

Geez Louise, any well performing kid from any solid high school in VA can get into UVA or W&M.

The list only includes schools which accepted 10 or more students, I assume for privacy reasons.

You sound bitter.

I think "W" schools are more similar to Langley than TJ looking at all of the lists.

The W schools are more similar to Langley than TJ, but they'll have slightly better looking lists because the MoCo magnet programs (Blair for STEM and RM for IB) have fewer slots than TJ.
