[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does an in-state student with similar SAT score / grades have a shot at RD?  NOVA, so I'm guessing no, but would like confirmation.[/quote]

They have to begin in the top 10% of their class.  So TJ/Langley/McLean etc? Probably no. Herdon/Justice etc? Maybe. [/quote]

Top 10% of TJ will not even apply to uva. [/quote]

They may apply, but they are probably going to go elsewhere.  They often will get attractive financial offers and/or go to Ivy+ types of schools. [/quote]

Top 50 % of TJ kids shun uva. Bottom 1/3 apply and about 45 kids from the bottom 20% attend except for few Jefferson scholars and merit scholars. [/quote]

If you look at where TJ students matriculate, only 20% attend a college ranked higher than UVA. The other 80% attend a similarly rated school or mostly one rated lower. Though UVA may not be the first choice for the very best TJ students, it clearly is a prize for even the very good students. [/quote]
