[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP.  If one cannot gain admission to UVA after attending TJ, what, then, was the point?[/quote]

Lot -- most? -- of TJ are grubby families that forego UVA for full merit ride to another college. And the elites offer such good financial aid, anyone under $200K has eyes on them for financial aid.[/quote]

Sorta. Many TJ kids are excellent students who get a significant amount of merit aid to attend a better engineering school. For all the UVA worship, UVA is only meh in engineering.  And I'm not sure why considering merit aid is "grubby".   What is wrong with spending less money to go to a better school?

Pull up the UVA engineering rankings. Look at all the schools that are better than them in engineering.  Compare the list of schools better than UVA in engineering with the list of TJ acceptances. Notice anything? [/quote]

My point was families I know with TJ kids are hunting for the best deal when it comes to college, they're not paying out of pocket for prestige, so this could make the destination list less status-heavy.[/quote]
