[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's wonderful that there was a record number of semifinalists in FCPS this year.  I don't recall seeing similar announcements from other local systems and it makes us very happy to have landed in a great pyramid.

TJ usually has about 160 NMSF each year yet they only have about 200 UVA acceptances out of about 300 applications. (67% acceptance rate).

Langley/Mclean typically has about 6 to 10 NMSFs per year and averages about 8 per year but has about 50 acceptances to UVA each year out of about 110 applications. (about 45% acceptance rate, according to another thread).

There appears to be an extreme discrepancy with the number of NMSFs and UVA acceptance rates. TJ has about 16 (1,600%) to 17 (1,700%) times higher NMSF numbers than Langley/McLean but the UVA acceptance rate is not even twice the rate. Could a discrimination against Asians be at play here?

UVA discriminates against Asians. [/quote]
