[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]

In 2011, 193 reported they are attending UVA, W&M, and VT.  In 2022, that number had declined to 82, a decline of 58%, with each school down by more than 50%.  You can say it is because they are more selective, but I suspect some other dynamic is in play.  I don't think the same decline is happening at other NoVa schools.[/quote]

It's because the caliber of TJ students wasn't the same by 2022. The student body was more homogenous and with all the entrance exams favoring prep over ability there were fewer gifted students.[/quote]

Quality of TJ students had actually increased during that time.[/quote]
