[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly your kid’s biggest problem will probably be that they’re coming from TJ. They need to knock their application questions out of the park. [/quote]

This.  No college will have unlimited opening for students from any HS.  So a qualified student will always partly be competing against other students from the same HS for the N admissions slots that a particular college will allocate.  Yes, TJ probably has an N greater than say Robinson, but TJ is filled to the brim with qualified students many of whom will have a bunch of quality ECs and other non-test/non-GPA differentiators.

Agreed with this.  TJ kids all have really high SAT/ACT and high weighted GPA.  To stand out in TJ, WGPA needs to be higher than 4.5 with SAT 1550+.  GPA is far more important than SAT. [b] My NMF kid has high SAT but 4.3<WGPA<4.4 was rejected by UVA and all top 20s, even with 2 publications in peer reviewed journals.[/b]  Quite depressing.[/quote]

Wow. What is UVA looking for, if not your kid?[/quote]
