TJ Class of 2018 College Acceptance Data

[Anonymous]

The TJ Today data was incomplete and omitted few universities and some graduates so here is the official acceptances for colleges/universities with 10 or more acceptances. (e.g. Yale, Stanford, Columbia etc. are missing). For example, UC Berkekey was omitted from TJ Today and there may have been few other schools omitted as well. Interesting how acceptances to Berkeley went down drastically from the typical ~25% to about 12% for 2018.

The FCPS annual survey of seniors reported 99 percent of the Class of
2018 were accepted to and are attending a four-year college or university.
(Listing reflects schools where ten or more students were accepted.)

NOTE: This is acceptance data, not enrollment data. Many students are included multiple times.

10 acceptances for Harvard is more than their usual 5-6 per year.

None except maybe elite privates such as Exeter and Andover.

Amazing results for TJ in this era of declining acceptance rates to many of the top colleges. 197 accepted into UVA!? Was the Class of 2018 considered a stronger than usual class? And over 1500 avg SATs...jeesh.

[Anonymous]

Michigan acceptances are increasing while acceptances to Cornell and Berkeley are decreasing (for the past 3-4 years.)

11 into MIT seems pretty damn impressive to me.

TJ typically has around 10 acceptances to Stanford, Yale, Columbia, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, UChicago etc. so 9 or fewer acceptances for these schools would be slightly fewer.

And this list doesn't include schools that accepted fewer than 10 including the 3 ATTENDING Stanford, 3 at CalTech, 8 attending UChicago, 7 attending Yale, 3 attending Penn and 2 each at Brown, Dartmouth and Columbia. PP last's year class was considered a stronger than usual class certainly stronger than the 2017 class.

Surprising ouch on Duke and Georgia Tech. I am wondering what program Ohio State has that is a draw for TJ students.

How many (class of 2018) are attending Berkeley? My understanding is that usually 5-10 enroll each year but TJ Today indicated 0 for 2018.

So you're telling us that everyone or almost everyone who got accepted to U Chicago and Yale decided to attend those schools since 9 or fewer were admitted? I don't dispute your numbers but it is an interesting observation re: yield at those schools.

You're totally clueless. Or a troll.
