[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot compare the no. 1 ranked high school in the country with a university not even in the top 20.

Why would MIT grad dream of going on to grad school in CS at UVA? Non-sense. [b]In-state tuition is the only thing attracting few TJ kids who do apply.[/b] Getting really sick of UVA non-sense from all the UVA morons.

All they know how to do is attack other schools and mock them so immature and insecure bunch of aholes.[/quote]

Regardless of what the reasons are for why they apply, they do apply in large numbers. At least 200 TJ students apply to UVA every year. And sure, some do turn down their offers of admission, but the bottom line is they get admitted at a far lower rate than they did previously.

[b]In the 90s and 2000s, the group of TJ students going to UVA mostly came from the 25th-65th percentile of the senior class. Nowadays it's more like the 10th-30th[/b].[/quote]

It's kind of sad how TJ has declined these past few decades. [/quote]
