[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only speak for TJ as DD goes there, but Michigan is a safety school, period.

TJ gets like 30-40 acceptances there a year but only like 3-4 go. UVA on the other hand is far more competitive and any TJ student would go there over Michigan in a heart beat.[/quote]
Isn't TJ slipping fast like WashU and Chicago?
Its overemphasis on STEM and years of mismanagement make it overrated in my book. It has become the UVA of local high schools. Kids are also not building the social capital they could be as juniors and seniors there because they are so concerned their "friends' might apply to the schools they want to attend. I could care less where TJ kids end up. It doesn't have any bearing on whether that place is better.
TJ kids have a large financial incentive to go to UVA but they'd need to be truly exceptional out-of-state applicants to get massive aid from Michigan. 
On the West coast and in big tech, Michigan is viewed as the better school though still not on par with Cal.[/quote]

There is no doubt in my mind that a UVA degree doesn’t travel as well as a Michigan one.  For that matter, I also agree that Berkeley trumps all publics in prestige and acceptance. [/quote]
