84 are "attending" UVA. The PP was asking for number of acceptances. Typically the number is about 170 to 190. |

I don't think that information is public yet. Blackboard/Family Connection/Naviance has not updated for the 2015 graduating class. Plus, it is down for a week, so even if it had updated, you couldn't look it up. |

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? |

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. |

Michigan doesn't have a magnet program like TJ anywhere in the state, and they are taking an increasing number of OOS students in order to pad falling funding from the state government. |

Typically 70 to 80% of TJ kids get accepted but only about half of them enroll. |

| Virginia wants to keep its smart kids in Virginia to work in the tech corridor. |

Most Public Universities are doing the same thing. UVA has about 25-30% OOS more than UCs. |
