4.4 end of Junior year and need "most rigorous" curriculum.


How many APs is "most rigorous"?

Yeah I meant no college supplemental essays. Any idea on GPA cutoff for EA from TJ?


If you are really a parent of a student at this school, your child has access to this data.


There's a kid who graduated from TJ who went EA to UVA so the school knows the exact answer.

CLAS or E School? DeanJ posted again about GPA cut offs - they don't have them supposedly. Can you ask the TJ counselor how many acceptances they got last year? that person will have the most helpful info. Is your student taking the hardest classes available across the board and doing well?

Anything under 4.45 at end of junior year is not going to be a sure shot. Last year my son's close friend with just above 4.4 at end of Jr Year did not get in. Got into a T20.

This. the 75th percentile this past fall entering UVA had a 4.5, so you can extrapolate from there, but Naviance is your better tool.
