[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Lol! If they are first gen or non-Asian URM then sure, hello Ivy! Otherwise, they get the same merit at next tier SLACs etc as the Langley and McLean kids. [/quote]

I didn't say all was merit.  I said attractive financial offers.  As for the top 10% going elsewhere, for 2020, there were 36 going to Ivy League schools, 11 to MIT and Stanford, and another 13 at Caltech, Chicago, and Duke.  So there were 60 going to those schools alone from a class of about 455.

So 395 of Fairfax County's strongest students end up at good but not great schools?  I've always wondered about the TJ or bust mentality when 200 top 1 percent kids end up bottom 50 percent kids whose prospects are worse than top 10 percent of base schools. [/quote]

In addition to above mentioned schools, each year about 10 go to Berkeley, 13 go yo CMU, 11 go to JHU, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, 9 go to Rice, WUSL, Notre Dame, 8 go to UCLA, Emory, Georgetown, 14 go to Michigan and 6 go to USC, NYU. [/quote]
