[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What an obnoxious post.  I hope you aren't a TJ parent.  My kid is a rising 9th grader there and I hope I don't encounter this attitude too much.  I posted earlier that she is going because she likes math and science and wants to be around hard-working, academic-minded peers.  Not because we have elite college plans.  We have no interest or financial ability to pay for those.  UVA would be wonderful.[/quote]

What is obnoxious about the statement? It is a simple fact since about half of the TJ graduating class gains admission to UVA. Some people think UNC, UMD, Texas etc. are safeties.[/quote]

It's obnoxious because it suggests there is just one bucket for all TJ students and another one for all South Lakes students.

There are South Lakes students for whom UVA might well be their safety school (as it was for me, coming out of another FCPS high school, years ago), and TJ students who would like to go to UVA but are turned down. [/quote]
