Arlington Tech is different from Arlington Career Center. It offers a unique opportunity for students to earn a significant amount of DE credit or even an associate's degree. We are looking at both AT (got in) and TJ (waiting until April to find out) [/quote]

Its a tale of two cities.

A handful of admits to a couple of Ivy, and notably Carnegie Mellon. But missing GATech, MIT, CalTech, Berkeley, Stanford really dampens the “Tech” emphasis of the school. Some RIT and FIT admits, but really not a feeder to engineering schools or elite schools

The vast majority go to GMU, JMU; UVA was kind of surprisingly weak.

I think the DE really draws students who have no plans to go OOS, so its a feeder to the VCU, JMU, GMU crowd, who can save significant tuition this way. Top academics,  engineering, and science are not its emphasis, not anything like a mini TJ. [/quote]
