[quote=Anonymous]I looked at this for the published matriculation data of graduating classes back in 2019 and then again in 2022.

TJ had about
- 8% HYPSM
- 6% next tier of privates (ranked 6-14)
- 20% public Top-4 (UVA, Mich, Cal, UCLA)
- 1% top SLACs/international
- 16% next tier of privates (15-25)
- 16% next tier of publics (6-15)
- 16% next tier of publics (16-25)
- 4% next tier of privates (26-55)
- 4% next tier of publics (26-50)
- 5% other VA publics or local schools
- 4% everything else

Compare to Mclean which was
- 1% HYPSM
- 2% next tier of privates (ranked 6-14)
- 11% public Top-4 (UVA, Mich, Cal, UCLA)
- 2% top SLACs/international
- 4% next tier of privates (15-25)
- 8% next tier of publics (6-15)
- 7% next tier of publics (16-25)
- 7% next tier of privates (26-55)
- 8% next tier of publics (26-50)
- 28% other VA publics or local schools
- 22% everything else

McLean has a larger percentage of graduating kids who were not listed and/or not attending college, so even though ~3% of those listed went to a top 14 private, that probably reflects closer to top ~2% of class... and also doesn't factor in hooks, which I suspect play a bigger role in aggregate for admitted McLean students than for admitted TJ students.

But hooks aside, if you drew the line at say top-15 publics and top 25 privates, at TJ you've got the top 2/3 of the class getting in, whereas at McLean it's the top 1/4. Definitely TJ isn't getting shunned historically. Hopefully they'll print matriculation again end-of-year for class of 2024 and we can see if the data has actually moved significantly in terms of where kids are matriculating to from our HS's... otherwise it's just anecdotes.[/quote]
