[quote=Anonymous]It also depends on the number of qualified applicants from a particular high school. For example, applicants from TJ are at a disadvantage because there are so many who have almost perfect academic credentials so the most select colleges can't very well offer admission to all the applicants who may be qualified on paper. It therefore will require that extra something to be eligible for acceptance in those colleges. To put it another way, some students with the very same profile from TJ would likely stand a better chance of getting into some of the most competitive colleges if they were from a different high school that had fewer applicants with substantially similar profiles. From a practical standpoint it does not matter because most students from TJ do get offers from some of the best colleges even if not from the Ivies. There is a large contingent that goes to UVA in most years.[/quote]
