[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear getting into UVA, VT is really tough from TJ. A large majority of TJ kids go out of state (with parents footing the bill!)[/quote]

I agree with this comment.  My kid graduated from TJ last year with high stats but is attending an out of state university (with very high costs) because of rejection at UVA and wait list at VT.  Many TJ kids go out of state for college.[/quote]

Available data simply do not support this. 49 kids went to UVA from TJ. UVA yield is around 40% that means at least 120+ kids were accepted from TJ. UVA's overall acceptance rate is 21%.  That means 583 kids from TJ applied must have applied to have that many acceptance which cannot not be the case because TJ class size is less than 450 kids. So the only way the math works if the acceptance rate is higher - between 35% - 40% ( almost double the UVA's overall acceptance rate). This means about 300 -350 kids applied to UVA which is very very close to actual application number UVA received from TJ in 2022. [/quote]

The simple reality is that UVA and VT practice yield protection.  A couple of years ago, my kid got into UVA but not VT while also getting into a slew of OOS schools (one of which he chose to attend).  We know of several that did not get into UVA and VT at that time and some of them had a better profile that my kid.  So yield protection is real.  If UVA/VT is your goal, go ED.  IF waitlisted, make sure your LOCI clearly indicates your interest (send one even if they are not asking for one).  [/quote]
