[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry about these results, and can understand that this is very disappointing. I'm also a TJ parent, and have been reflecting on some of these same questions. A couple of thoughts: --GPA is different from a transcript. And the transcript matters. Among my student's friends, it appears that those with all As (and rigor) are having better outcomes than those with high (sky-high) rigor and a couple of Bs. Both of these could be a 4.4x. --I'm pretty shocked about the WL at UVA. I'd be frustrated with that. Seems like it should have been in the range--though everyone says that UVA is unpredictable for NoVA. Your student will be very well prepared for college (academics-wise) and that's significant. It sets them up to really take advantage of all the college might offer. It's a really tough transition for the best of kids, and it's helpful to have that aspect locked down. [/quote]
