[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think you're missing the point -- or I am.  For a top FCPS student, it's entirely possible to get into MIT and CMU or wherever and not get into UVA.  UVA is just that competitive for VA students from our area.  There's no question that less qualified applicants are accepted from out of state and ROVA (rest of VA) simply because UVa can't become a NOVA outpost (which we've seen over and over and over).

So true!!  Last year at TJ, I believe they had a student waitlisted at an Ivy league (think it was Yale) and UVA.  UVA is very competitive if you are from NOVA. Parents are under the impression if you graduate from TJ, you will get into UVA and that is not the case.  Yes, the kids work their butts off at TJ but my child LOVES it there.  He loves being among other students who enjoys the same stuff he does.  We have always left open the option of him returning to his base high school but as he puts it "he is not going there unless TJ kicks him out".   [/quote]
