[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing to consider is the benefits of the rigor of a TJ education. Many, if not most, TJ grads find they are extremely well prepared for college.  My D and her TJ friends are finding college easier than HS and this includes rigorous college programs at UChicago, Princeton and Carnegie Mellon. [b]Her friends at UVA are cruising through their coursework there at least through the first 2 years.[/b][/quote]

I had heard somewhere that TJ students at UVA have among the highest average GPAs of high school cohorts over a certain size.

Over time, the number of TJ students going to UVA has been trending down.  [/quote]
This is a consequence of the fact it is much harder to get into UVA from TJ.  Over half of the applicants are rejected from TJ, so you need to be near the upper half of TJ to get in, hence the higher GPA.[/quote]

Seems yield is perhaps biggest issue.  About 200 accepted and 37 attending UVA according to the senior tjToday issue:  https://issuu.com/tjtoday/docs/tjtoday_senior_issue_2019_for_web
