[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the other hand, UVA funnels in dozens of geniuses from TJ every year, and all of those kids are more capable than any kid at Duke.[/quote]
PP really thinks that TJ is the only school in this country with STEM geniuses, with its whopping one Regeneron finalist in the last three years![/quote]

TJ still gets the best talent of any high school and they flock to UVA. If Duke was better why wouldn't more kids from TJ go to Duke?[/quote]

Your first statement is correct. However, TJ students do not flock to UVA because UVA has a weak STEM programs. In fact, when my kid was applying to colleges from TJ, very few top students would even bother applying to UVA and mostly average and below average kids applied. TJ students would rather attend VT or UMD to major in STEM than attend UVA and try to do CS or Engineering.

TJ kids attending UVA halved in the past 6-7 years and doubled to UMD.[/quote]

TJ sent as many students to William & Mary as UMD last year, which isn’t exactly known for STEM, and it also sent twice as many to UVA as Tech.  UMD also offers merit aid, which UVA does not.
