[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP from the midpoint of this thread

Glad I finally got some reinforcements I got tired of arguing with that one poster the other day

just to echo prior poster

The chances of you getting into an elite top 20 college out of TJ are between 5-10% which is the actual acceptance rate of the greater applicant pool to these schools overall, draw whatever conclusions you want to my original point still stands[/quote]

You must be blind.[/quote]

And doesn't understand percentages.[/quote]

And envious of TJ having one of the best if not the best college admissions in the country. :lol: [/quote]

Have you been paying attention?  Not supported by the facts.[/quote]

lol  thanks for making my point again again and again

besides a couple outliers (mainly on the lower top 25 programs) the rates are within 1-3% points.  that's nothing to crow about

Provided with facts, you refuse to see facts and now wants some wiggle room![/quote]

um right the top 15 schools are all pretty much in the 5-10% range which was my original point there buddy sorry for your failure at life[/quote]

Difference is your average high school would be lucky to send 2-4% to top ~30 colleges and TJ sends 70-80% to top schools. You should take a look at some of the other FCPS high school college acceptances. [/quote]
