---- In 2015, only 10 out of ~460 students got accepted in each of the following ivy universities ?.. I can bet, most of the 10 students who probably got accepted are same one's  ---

Columbia University 10
Massachusetts Institute of Technology 10
Yale University 10
University of California, Los Angeles 10

--- and more than half of the class of 2019 applied for in-state universities ---

University of Virginia 191
College of William and Mary 181
Virginia Tech 155
Virginia Commonwealth University 84

--------

not much different from 2014, https://www.tjhsst.edu/abouttj/schoolprofile/docs/2014-15TJHSST%20Profile.pdf

So, is TJ just any high school, just to brag about by parents ?

=======

Are there similar statistics available for other high schools in FCPS ?

Are you kidding me? 17- Berkley, 26- UNC Chapel Hill, 29- Cornell, 16- U. Of Chicago, 17- Duke...the list goes on and on, and you think that a base school can even compare? [/quote]

The article did not list the schools that accepted number less than 10.   They are top top schools such as Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, just names a few.[/quote]

Yes, list does not show if college accepted less than 10. But, totally agree, you are insane if you think any other school in FCPS compares to this list of acceptances. Sure, you have a few here and there accepted to Ivys at the base school. But, damn. I would take a "disappointing" school like Cornell or Univ. of Chicago any day of the week. LOL[/quote]
