[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here is the question..... If Bob the Senior at TJ has a class rank that is in the bottom 5% of his class (after all, everyone can't be Valedictorian), and he applies to UVA, and Joe the Senior at Lake Braddock has a class rank in the top 10% of his class, which one do you think gets in, assuming their SATs are equal? [/quote] This is a trick question, right? Because Bob the senior at TJ is applying to Virginia Tech, not UVA. But to answer your question, lowest 5 percent of his class at TJ is still higher than top 10% elsewhere. The standards are just different.[/quote] Funny. 120 2011 TJ grads are currently freshmen at UVA (don't know how many are at VA Tech, but I'm sure someone here knows). And I don't have the data for proof, but I wouldn't assume that the bottom 5% of TJ is better than the top 10% in other Fairfax County high schools. [/quote]
