[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends. If you aim at UVA, TJ is a way to go.  If your child is an average or below average at TJ (your class rank could be a lot better at a regular home base high school, then you may not get into your first choice. [/quote]

We have 4 kids in our street who went to UVA. They did not go to tj. [/quote]

UVA is a safety for TJ kids. TJ kids attend UVA only for the cheap tuition.[/quote]

And here we go again. This is like Groundhog Day. You really haven’t gotten any of what we’ve been saying. For top base school kids, UVA is also a safety. You don’t need TJ![/quote]

Except to get a real education.[/quote]

If the top base school kids don’t get a “real education, then how is it that they are able to get into the same shcools as those almighty TJ grads?[/quote]

Almighty TJ kids do not usually attend UVA. Average or below average TJ kids attend UVA to avoid student loans.[/quote]

Which is it? Are they attending UVA bc they are average or just bc of financial concerns? Earlier someone posted it wasn’t bc they were average...no TJ grad could possibly be average was implied. It was declared that UVA was a TJ grad’s safety school. It had to be solely due to finances (donut hole families). Now you’re singing a different tune...interesting.[/quote]
