[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]38 to a welder's school like VPI is not that impressive, is it?[/quote]

LOL, you mean 38 out of 480 chose an in-state school is a bad thing? Not everyone can afford out of state. These acceptances are amazing: https://fcps.tjhsst.edu/coursemgmt/media/300/resource/TJ%20Profile%202015-16%20online%20hq.pdf

But at the end of the day, sometimes $$.[/quote]

179 / 480 went to instate.  38% - same %age as any other high school in FCPS region.

You mean other high schools schools sent 81 to UVA?? LOLOL[/quote]

81 students went to UVA, but there were 191 students got accepted by UVA.   Tell me which base high school got accepted these many students by UVA each year.[/quote]

Absolutely none can match TJ.. But, you are stupid to see what the point of that post was.

TJ just gets all the GT/AAP students at one place.. They would get into UVA even from base schools also, not because of TJ. I am so surprised by the IQ of people who try to see why TJ is great.

Probably not true in all cases. You can't say that kids have a fixed destined college "no matter where they go to high school".  TJ kids progress into a new math class each semester, take science courses not offered at other schools, and do complex research projects, etc... Perhaps TJ propels some kids even further than their apparent "fated" school.[/quote]

Posters say don't game the college admissions over and over again and then say it's idiotic to attend TJ because TJ grads are at a disadvantage in college admissions (which is not true looking at the college acceptances) totally disregarding the unique TJ experience. Most TJ kids attend for the unique Post AP courses, advanced labs, research opportunities, teachers who gave up teaching at universities to teach at TJ, research mentorship opportunities, 8th period etc. not available at base schools.[/quote]
