[quote=Anonymous]Is it better to go to TJ and get whatever the benefits of the HS education are (even if you end up in the bottom 1/2 -- which is a very real possibility), OR Is it better to go to your local HS (I'm thinking of Hayfield, South Lakes, Edison, Lake Braddock, or even the Langley, McLean types) and potentially graduate in the top 20%? Which is the better outcome for college acceptances and/or for life? As an aside, I know of a girl who went to one of the more middle-ish schools, did NOT have a 4.0 GPA or any particularly scholarly works. Was a cheerleader and worked summers at a local craft store. She got into 11 out of 15 schools including Penn, William &Mary, UVa, and others. I was kind of surprised since I thought you pretty much had to have above a 4.0 to get in those schools from NoVa.
