[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, I would never base a TJ decision on college admissions. I would say one caveat:  my kid did well above my expectations on college admissions because they applied to SLACs. In at 8/9 schools. And the one deny is a non-VA school with 150+!TJ applicants.  And they got amazing merit money from school that offer it. Even some top SLACs get no TJ applicants in a given year.  But, they are wonderful for some things, like science PhDs and med school admissions.

Competition out of TJ for UVA and top engineering CS programs is brutal. Your kid will get a better school with  weaker credentials.   They can’t take all 200 TJ kids who apply.

But wherever your kid goes, they will be better prepared out of TJ.

[b]Where are you more likely to get an Ivy?  Nowhere. That’s just reality. [/quote]

LOL..I agree. It ain't easy from any school. Good schools are possible for any school but Ivies are completely different material. You will get into an IVY from your base school or from TJ if you are a IVY material. Less hard work maybe from base school.[/quote]
