[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year had UVA (49), W&M (26), VA Tech (7), VCU (10), GMU (10).
I think the middle of the road kids get shut out at UVA and VA Tech and go to OOS schools - Purdue, UIUC, Michigan etc[/quote]

So you are saying VT only had 7 because they largely didn't admit TJ students?[/quote]

This is a big change from a generation ago. I'm a late-90s TJ grad and my memory is that about 100 people went to UVA, a quarter of the class. Another huge chunk went to VT too. I wonder when the UVa numbers dropped?[/quote]

Probably when the rest of VA started complaining! [/quote]

A much higher percentage of TJ students now go OOS.[/quote]

Are they going OOS by choice?[/quote]

I mean, for some yes, but for many, no.

UVA is historically attracted to well-rounded students. Those were in greater supply in earlier years at TJ and are in significantly shorter supply now. But the ones who deserve to get in generally do.[/quote]

Most TJ students are not interested in attending UVA especially since they have weak CS/Engineering programs. Only those who cannot afford privates or OOS tuition may end up attending UVA reluctantly unless you are in the bottom 20% in which case those students will be glad to attend.[/quote]

How many TJ students went to UVA last year again?[/quote]
