Wow. Just a handful of Ivies for such a large and affluent school. That’s surprising.

What’s with the Ivy obsession? Looks like a very impressive range of schools to me.

It was a very difficult year for students to get into Va Tech. There were a lot of disappointed families.

^ is it brain drain to TJ? They should show results by home school.

And more kids in cram schools.

Bitter?

Why? The four years spent at TJ in a specialized cirriculum and a wholly different cohort of kids is so different.

But it would explain why there are fewer top schools for the other affluent high schools.

Of course it would be a fun exercise, but that science experiment would have so problems with it, too many variables are different for the TJ/base school student.

It’s really not that complicated to create a list. ??

But as PP noted there are other variables. Some families would live elsewhere or send their kids to privates if their kids didn’t get into TJ. We had Asian neighbors who were emphatic they’d never send their kids to Marshall. One got into TJ; the other did not and they sent the child to a private.

Naviance finally updated for the Class of 2018. VA Tech accepted 75 out of 192, with 12 enrolling. Last year, the same HS (McLean) had 133 out of 203 students accepted with 50+ enrolling.

Results were quite good for W&M with 51 out of 96 students accepted.

Provide data to back up that claim. Otherwise you’re just peddling in stereotypes.
