Maybe because these students got in better choice elsewhere?[/quote]

Absolutely.  UVA is their safety school.[/quote]

Kinda sounds like a diss to UVA, yet only the top of TJ gets admitted. UVA may be a backup for the relatively few who get into Ivies, but for most kids at this prestigious high school, it’s a match or even a reach. [/quote]

I am not sure why you are taking this so personally. UVA is a great safety school for some kids. DD is at another school (not TJ). At her school, Scoir showed an acceptance rate of 100 with her stats over the past 4 years. So, for DD, UVA was a safety. (And yes, she did get in EA but is going elsewhere). [/quote]

Naviance showed 100% acceptance for DS's stats to UVA from TJ, but we still did not consider it a safety school. Things change year to year, sometimes dramatically in college admissions and especially to selective colleges. Got into two of HYPSM in the end but we were absolutely thrilled when DS got into UVA and a huge relief.

This is the right approach and the one we took. I've seen too many top kids get rejected from UVA while getting into higher ranked schools. Anyone who treats UVA as a safety or even a target is taking a risk. [/quote]
