I think the middle of the road kids get shut out at UVA and VA Tech and go to OOS schools - Purdue, UIUC, Michigan etc
So you are saying VT only had 7 because they largely didn't admit TJ students?
Yes, VT for some reason doesn't take a lot of TJ kids.
No. VT takes TJ students. You cannot read too much into the numbers above.
1) These are self-reported numbers. Only around 80% of chose to disclose. That means 90 kids didn't say where they were going.
2) Many who got into VT decided to go elsewhere
The 7 is the self-reported enrolled count to VT. We don't know how many applied and were admitted.

That is a pretty big sample size unless there is any evidence that there is a tendency for the remaining 20% to not report they are going to specific schools.

What are the GPA weight distributions at TJ?

Quite a high percentage go OOS. The in state numbers are limited below UVA, W&M, VT. From 2015-2022, the top in-state for those reporting destinations were:
459 UVA
241 W&M
212 VT
62 VCU
55 GMU
8 JMU
VCU may mostly be the direct admit for medical school program. It is interesting that VT is not higher given its size and STEM focus.

Not UVA outside of the top 20%. Maybe VT for non-engineering
Definitely not a TJ person who posted the above. Barely anyone from TJ gets in to Tech. It’s mysterious. [/quote
Interesting for the self-proclaimed STEM university and the STEM high school.

I’ve seen impressive admission stats of the top TJ graduates. But I want to know what colleges the rest of the students (the middle 50%, the bottom 25%) are going. Would they have fared better admission wise if they stayed at their home schools, assuming they’d be bigger fish in a smaller pond?
