[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear getting into UVA, VT is really tough from TJ. [b]A large majority of TJ kids go out of state (with parents footing the bill!)[/b][/quote]

I believe TJ students overall get more academic scholarship money than any other high school.  And look at the schools a lot of kids are going to OOS.  They are quite good.

TJ sent 49 to UVA in 2022.  That is very likely the highest of any high school in the country.  Virginia Tech was only 7.  I think that had more to do with students choosing to go elsewhere.

More students attend Cornell, CMU, NYU, Michigan, MIT, UMD, Purdue, UIUC, Chicago and Georgetown THAN VT.  That's messed up. [b]Either VT has completely different priorities than bringing in the best students from the state or not seen very favorably at TJHSST.[/b][/quote]

I think the issue at Tech is that TJ students view them as a safety, particularly for CS, and Tech knows the story. If a kid is at TJ and really wants to go to Tech for CS they probably need to ED. [/quote]
