[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these acceptances or attending? What I mean is, could there be a higher number accepted to a school (like UVA) than the number of students who decided to enroll? Our school only list schools attending, not accepted. [/quote]

These figures represent the schools students are attending. Public schools don't generally report acceptances. W-L is not that big compared to many other schools in Fairfax County. TC Williams, the largest high school in the state, has ten seniors this year going to ivy league schools and about 40 going to UVA. Also, keep in mind that TC Williams does not lose its smartest students to TJ unlike in Arlington and Farifax Counties. Comparing Woodson, Robinson, TC Williams, and other large schools to smaller, under-2000 student Arlington schools like W-L or Yorktown doesn't make much sense. Unless anyone can prove me wrong, I believe about 5 ivy league bound students from an under 2000-student high school in Northern Virginia is pretty good. McLean High School has about 6 students headed to the ivies. W-L has 5, and I'm sure Yorktown is similar. [/quote]
