Those are not impressive stats at all. Those percentages are the typical acceptance rates for these schools period. TJ is not adding any benefit to college admissions. As the "best" high school in NOVA I'm really surprised about this.  So what's the point of TJ again?[/quote]

It's the unique TJ education including unique courses and research etc. I know of a TJ graduate who graduated in the bottom 10% of TJ and has gone on to UVA and graduated in the top 15%. :lol: [/quote]

All TJ grads are wunderkinder.[/quote]

[b]Yes. If bottom 10% at TJ graduates UVA in the top 15%, just think how well top 10% TJ grads end up doing[/b]. They usually graduate top 10% with 2 degrees in 3 years and head off to top 10 grad/medical/law schools. [/quote]

If you look at the TJ admission statistics for UVA, that shows barely more than half of the applicant are admitted, I would say that someone from the bottom 10% at TJ being admitted would be quite unusual. [/quote]

This kid got into a top LAC and then transferred to UVA.[/quote]
