[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The acceptance rate to UVA from TJ is 15%, the acceptance rate to Michigan is like 90%. Why is there a debate about which school is the safety lol[/quote]

Acceptance rates don't tell most of the story. There is a different subset applying (far more to USA, I'm sure). Also, Michigan is happy to accept good full-tuition and high stats kids OOS! Michigan does't guarantee to meet need OOS and can be stingy with OOS merit aid when an applicant isn't amazing, so kids at TJ self-select out and don't bother paying to apply. TJ students (and parents) can be set on particular private schools, even if their families are in that MC and UMC group that might struggle to pay based on need-based aid alone. Most of them apply to UVA too just in case and some realize it is the best option for their family too (it probably is in more cases than they realize). UVA, being a great state school, is also the top choice of many at TJ, which makes a ton of sense even if Michigan is regarded as the better overall institution.  [/quote]

I can only imagine the shame that TJ parents feel when their child has to settle for UVA. Seriously, attending a top high school for STEM and having to end up at your best instate prestige option that isn’t known for it. Oh the pain, the pain! [/quote]
