[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ doesn't represent the entire state - hell it doesn't even represent Fairfax County. [/quote]

I didn't say it represented the entire state. Dear Lord. I was simply speculating that high stat kids in NOVA were getting turned off to Tech engineering by their recent admission trends focusing on first gen. Simply used recent TJ numbers as an example. [/quote]

DP.  I think it's safe to say that you are projecting.  The vast majority of VT acceptances [b]aren't[/b] going to first gen/URM, as you would have others believe.  Some of you may have kids who were rejected, thus you think it's because of "recent admissions trends."  Instead, it's most likely due to the fact that so many highly qualified kids apply, they simply can't take them all.  None of the kids who were admitted from our high school were either first gen or URM.  They were simply high stats, well-rounded kids.  The more you repeat this, the more obvious it is you have a major case of sour grapes - and an axe to grind.[/quote]

No axe to grind. Not a parent of an applicant. Just speculation/observation which seems to have rubbed some people the wrong way.  Not a TJ family, but the number of TJ graduates attending Tech has steadily decreased from 38 in 2018, 16 in 2019 and 2020, 2021 n/a and 7 from class of 2022.  In-state engineering admission rate last year was 44% while OOS was 60%.  It just all seems strange.[/quote]
