[quote=Anonymous]It is highly unlikely that any in-state student rejected from UVA or W&M is getting accepted at Williams or Pomona or Amherst or Wellesley. The thing TJ boosters seem to miss is that the elite schools are a giant reach for even the better students at TJ. The very top students are absolutely brilliant without a doubt and they get in to the top schools. But for the rest of the top half, it is much harder because many fit a single type - introverted violin/piano playing, competitive chess players who want to be engineers. Engineers do fine at the land grant institutions because that's what the big state schools are created for but the elite schools don't want an entire student body with such similar profiles. [/quote]
