[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone who had a kid at TJ (albeit not currently)..[b]top 20% getting UVA may be a little bit of a stretch,[/b] VT is always a crapshoot for some reason at TJ (mine got into UVA, a T20, and OOS schools that were better than VT, but was waitlisted at VT. Although for non-Eng kids and those who ED, they seem to have better luck with VT

W&M is a common option (very underrated in my opinion) that attracts TJ kids near the 50% mark..very forgiving for GPA (I know kids who had C's who applied as STEM majors and got in). W&M ED is also very accepting towards TJ kids

Other than that, there are a decent number of OOS flagships (Purdue, Texas A&M, UMD, Pitt, Penn State) that attract TJ kids. A decent number of kids in this category also go to UCs (with the exception of Cal and UCLA).

RPI and WPI are also good options. They tend to give a lot of money and are solid schools.

Even though they may be shut out of the top 20, there are still very good options for them.[/quote]
Not true at all. Most TJ top 20% got into UVA with no problem. In that sense, UVA is still a safety to them but not as attractive as some other top colleges.[/quote]
