Some pretty good HYPSM (Harvard, Yale, Stanford (2), MIT) , and some other good schools with multiple matriculations such as Duke, Brown, Penn, Michigan, Georgetown, UCLA, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Wake Forest, Wisconsin, as well as others such as Wesleyan, Dartmouth, Haverford, Tufts, Chicago, SouthernCal, UCB, UCSB, Wellesley, North Carolina, UT-Austin, etc. These schools showed up in 2020, and in similar numbers for the most part.

However, the really interesting datapoints are for the major Virginia schools:

VA Tech 22 (down from 35 in 2020)
UVA  21 (down from 27 in 2020)
George Mason 6  (down from 18 in 2020)

The number of matriculants for W&M, VCU, JMU, CNU and MWU are about the same from 2020.

From this, you can see the impact of the 1st generation and test-optional policies of UVA and VT on one of the better FCPS HS.  We were not imagining this impact, despite those who said that this year is not so different from previous years.

The numbers for Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Clemson, UCLA, Penn State, Delaware and other public flagships went up significantly over 2020.   These are probably DCs displaced from UVA and VT, since the numbers for other Virginia publics were stable.

I am not certain why GMU went down so much from 2020.

Finally, the class of 2021 was 579 students in total, and the above figures only include half of the class (as was the case last year) so some of the NOVA and community college numbers are probably underreported.[/quote]
