[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need the Applied/Admitted/attending table for the entire student population to compare to prev. years and only then can we go "wow" or "meh".   If the trend is "meh", I will advice my DC to move back to base (his call of course). DC1 is more the manager/lawyer type than a builder/researcher type anyways.. As is, DC2 will not even be taking the TJ test next year (DC2 is better than DC1  academically).[/quote]

Geez, this is an insufferable post. [/quote]

+1.  This has been floating around this year.  People say, why do the Ivy’s only take a limited number of kids from TJ?  And, why bother if they would get into UVA from their base school?  I think this does an excellent job of explaining why.  And why TJ is worth it, IMO, even if your kid ends up in the exact same place at the beginning of their college year.  Because life doesn’t end when you start college. And TJ kids don’t just att end WM, VT, uVA. They are in the very top of their classes at these schools. Which then gets them into any grad program they want.   This is written by the guy who compiled the stats on how kids from various HS did once they hit the top VA college.

Worth a read.
