[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid got rejected - a lot of kids high stat kid got rejected.  Might be for yield or too many from the same HS or too many from NoVa.  They can't take 100% or the TJ applicants - check the other thread. TJ is already at top 3-5% of the populous area.

Look for a path forward. UVA Wise path is one. No personal experience but as a parent - this lets me sleep at night knowing the option exists. [/quote]

UVA Wise is not open to rejected kids.

And UVA does not yield protect. It is a state school with an extremely high yield in-state . It can't afford to yield protect, it doesn't have the bandwidth to yield protect, and it does not need to yield protect. Out of state applicants are held to a higher standard because there are fewer spots for them. And as you said, the competition at TJ and a few other high schools is so tough that excellent applicants will be rejected because they are compared first and foremost to their peers. This is not yield protection.[/quote]
