[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to know why TJ 2020  enrolled approx. half as many students at UVA, WM, and VT vs. 2015.[/quote]

This comes up often on the forum. I'm also sure this has been addressed before but:

Fact: the published destinations in the TJ student newspaper are self-reported and opt-in. 
Fact: Only 60% of the class of 2020 of 453 students chose to report their matriculation choices. Previous classes also roughly the same.
Fact: NOBODY on the forum knows for certain how many kids from TJ enrolled at UVA in total or for that matter, at any other college.

+1 I doubt many TJ kids are rushing to post that they made it to UVA, WM or VT after being able to get into the top high school in the country.  I think it's probably a letdown for many of those kids.[/quote]

So the purpose of going to high school is to go to a highly-ranked college and the reason to attend a highly-ranked college is to make more money?[/quote]

Must suck to bust your ass and go to one of the best HSs in the US....only to go to a state university. They could have done that from any of the countless mediocre HSs.

That is why numbers to UVA have been going down last several years. They take solace in the fact that TJ grads are usually in the top 5-10% of the collage graduating class and in great shape to go on to PhD programs and medical schools. :lol:
