Absolutely. UVA is their safety school.
Kinda sounds like a diss to UVA, yet only the top of TJ gets admitted. UVA may be a backup for the relatively few who get into Ivies, but for most kids at this prestigious high school, it’s a match or even a reach.
I am not sure why you are taking this so personally. UVA is a great safety school for some kids. DD is at another school (not TJ). At her school, Scoir showed an acceptance rate of 100 with her stats over the past 4 years. So, for DD, UVA was a safety. (And yes, she did get in EA but is going elsewhere).

Naviance showed 100% acceptance for DS's stats to UVA from TJ, but we still did not consider it a safety school. Things change year to year, sometimes dramatically in college admissions and especially to selective colleges. Got into two of HYPSM in the end but we were absolutely thrilled when DS got into UVA and a huge relief.

Anyone at TJ with less than 4.4 is not likely to get into UVA over 4.5 and you are very likely to get in. UVA is probably as tough or tougher admit than T15-25 from TJ.

UVA is nobody's safety school these days. Some kids may think it is their safety school but it's not. We see so many top TJ kids getting rejected it is silly.

Colleges despite new laws all care about diversity so poor TJ students can still can get in to good schools.

I am surprised only 393. Could be because UVA is GPA heavily valued school. You need 4.4 atleast from TJ.
UVA has No more essays.
If you have to get into UVA from TJ it has to be applied early. It shows interest.

Right. Over 350 kids from the nation’s top public high school applies, 17 get admitted ED elsewhere and withdraw their applications, and now we’re supposed to believe that UVA is a backup for TJ kids? Heck, for some Yale and Princeton are backups to Harvard. Brown and Dartmouth are backups to Y and P. Cornell is a last-chance Ivy. An overstimulated ego says stupid stuff.
Yale and Princeton are not backups. Please make a rational contribution.

Tjhsst is not what it used to be before pandemic. Now admissions are not merit based, but diversity focused. UVA admissions is responding accordingly

Deservedly so. These are top or near top students from dozens of school districts in Northern VA.
Misspoke. Not dozens.

I assumed these are students who ED’ed elsewhere, got in to their ED school, and pulled other apps.
