[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear there are many TJ kids going to Mason. What gpa do they need for uva or vtech?[/quote]

Here are the stats from Naviance for TJ (and it does not break it down by major, gender, etc. - just the average stats for admission):

UVA:      wGPA: [b] 4.48   SAT  1553
VaTech:  wGPA:  4.36[/b]   SAT  1537[/quote]

thank you. people do not understand how high the [b]gpas are at TJ [/b]and that you compete against the others in your high school first, not just for uva but for any school. Sure TJ gets in "more" and you can be "only" top third and get in but when you are in the TJ peer group being top third is very difficult. better to stay at the home school and be the only kid with a 1550 and top of the class and have a shot at ivies than grind at TJ only to get shut out of UVA.[/quote]

Actually, those GPAs are slightly below the 75th percentile of last year's incoming UVA class, which was a 4.5. And, yes, you are compared to your classmates, so one could argue you need higher scores than the average.  Even the median had a 4.4. [/quote]
