[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the downward trend for TJ students going to Virginia state schools:

179 in 2015
170 in 2016
161 in 2017
140 in 2018

Not all reported for 2019, but trend is toward 130.  [/quote]

It's simple folks. Most TJ grads consider VTech to be below safety and unfortunately, UVA sucks for CS and engineering so more and more TJ kids are opting to go OOS. My recent TJ kid opted to go to Berkeley.[/quote]
It may be a consequence of more TJ grads getting rejected to these schools.  We need to see the applied/accepted/enrolled data.[/quote]

Putting different sources together, UVA is something like 348 applied, 197 accepted, and 37 indicated they will attend (75% of graduates reporting).  VT is 243 applied, 182 accepted, 16 indicated they will attend (again with 75% of graduates reporting).

Overall yield for UVA in-state is about 58%.  If you assume about 50 attend UVA (based on the Bull Elephant data 37 attending with 75% reporting), then UVA yield for TJ grads is about 25%.  It could be that this year's TJ yield is low for some reason, but you can see yield is still going to be well below the in-state average.

For VT, overall yield for in-state students is about 46%.  If you assume about 21 attend VT (based on the Bull Elephant data of 16 attending with 75% reporting), then VT yield for TJ grads is about 12%.  Again, it could well be that this year's TJ yield is low for some reason, but yield is still well below in-state average.

I think the poster above had it right.  A lot of these kids have good options and it appears more and more of them are choosing to go elsewhere.
