Do you have Mclean and Marshall data?

[Anonymous]

Only an idiot would compare matriculations from schools that serve everyone vs a school that selects only top students. Must be a troll.

[Anonymous]

Anyone have matriculation info on Chantilly HS or Fairfax HS? DD is a rising freshman at TJ and one concern we have is that her chances at getting into a really good college might be lower from TJ.

Just curious, what do the TJ students who go to UVA generally major in?

Engineering, or I know several who are in McIntire and a few of those are double majoring in Comp Sci through Arts and Sciences.

Why would anybody go to UVA to study engineering or Computer Science? I know of a UVA grad in computer science who could not find a job in the computer field.

Must not have done well in college because the top companies all recruit at UVA.

we know-- UVA is the best at everything. But not Engineering, where it is ranked 32 (US New, Engineeering with grad programs list). Vs. VT (16). No love for GT (4th, tie), or UT Austin (11), Northwestern (13). Lots of TJ love for MIT, Stanford, Cal Tec, Berkeley, (1-4) Also, lots of love UCIC and Michigan (tie 6th), CMU, Cornell and Purdue (8-10).

Also weird, because:

UM. 132/65/17
UICU. 68/48/11
CMU. 140/36/15
Purdue. 71/6/7
Berkeley. 97/34/11

But GT. 123/46/6. (2016-- more normal year). 111/35/1. (2017)
UT Austin. 28/9/1

And Northwestern. 46/1/0. (Huh???)

Also usually TJ interest in Harvey Mudd, Rose-Hulman and Olin (1,2,3 in engineering w/o grad school), with a couple kids going to each.

So why it UT Austin or GT? Kids are admitted from TJ. It's either the south or crappy merit aid, I guess.

And I can't explain Northwestern. At all.

Berkeley is ranked 3rd and Caltech is ranked 4th in engineering.

Oh FFS. So typically TJ. I pull a ton of date from US News and Navience, and use my iPhone to post it, And the only thing someone notices is that I transposed the 3rd and 4th ranked engineering schools were transposed. And must point that out.

Retraction: "Lot's of TJ love for MIT, Stanford, BERKLEY, CAL TECH (1-4!"

Happy PP??

Also: Cal Tech (9% acceptance rate!!): 26/4/1

And before someone asks:

Stanford '(5% admit rate): 121/7/5
MIT. (8% admit rate). 93/10/8

This is officially depressing.

Your lack of intelligence and critical thinking ability is officially depressing. I hope you're way below an average American in terms of intellectual ability. Otherwise it's truly disturbing.

Not a PP, but I assumed PP meant percentage of applied that were admitted to elite schools were similar. No data available, so moot.

What do you consider a really good college? Serious question so we can help you.

Don't know about Chantilly, but a friend whose child just graduated from TJ said it was pretty hard to watch the kids' peers from Edison get into better schools with far less work during the HS years. Half of the kids at TJ are in "the bottom half". Her child got into VT, so he's fine, but there was a lot of stress along the way (and a lot of kids with anxiety and executive functioning issues even though they are super smart on the tests). I can imagine it would be really hard to see friends skating off to _______ school, knowing that they had a much easier experience. I guess the last laugh will be that friend's kid will probably skate through VT, while the peers will have to work a little harder in college.

Keep telling your self that while TJ kids continue with the best college admissions results in the country.

That's because of the quality of the students, not the high school itself. If those kids had all stayed at their base schools and you posted admission information for them, the results would probably be just as good if not better.
