[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And JMU isn't great either.[/quote]

Then again you are talking about 8 students out of a class of 430 attending either JMU or GMU with the lowest WEIGHTED GPA around 3.14.  And money is likely a factor as well.

UVA just announced its Echols Scholars (offered to about 5% of incoming first years) for its early admits and TJ seems to have an outsize # in its 2018 class.  [/quote]
My DC was offered Echols from her FCPS school.  It seems like a nice perk, but comes with no $$$, so DC will probably attend elsewhere.[/quote]

Any opinion on whether VCU, JMU, GMU are great schools to get into after attending TJ?! Do they require the rigor that is TJ?

Great schools?  Nope. Bad options for the bottom 10% of the class? Nope. Do their general colleges require TJ level rigor? Again, nope. But VCU 6 year med school does. And GMU has an excellent and well regarded CS department. [/quote]

Yes, I’m sure the students choose GMU for Computer Science.  :roll: [/quote]

GMU's computer science department has heavily recruited a few TJ kids that I personally know, and I am sure there have been others. They are offered very large merit scholarships in a strong department that provides them with many great opportunities.
