[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting, I graduated from TJ almost two decades ago and I think more than 100 people in my class went to U.Va.  I wonder if it's harder to get in now or if more TJ students are turning U.Va down. [/quote]

I think a little of both.  UVA is no longer a safety school for TJ students and now accepts less than 2/3 of those who apply from TJ (still a very high %).  This class was also considered not as strong as the previous 2016 class which had 81 going to UVA.[/quote]

That's wild, because my understanding from talking to a co-worker whose kid recently went through the admissions process is that getting into TJ itself is a much, much more competitive and high-pressure thing than it was back when I went there. My own kids are in preschool so I haven't really focused on this, but it really brings home for me how much more competitive [i]everything[/i] is for teens now. I'm not looking forward to what it will be like for my kids in 10 or 15 more years. [/quote]
