Virginia is blessed with several very high-quality public schools, each are actually very different from the other in vibe and in that way it serves our state really well. We’re very lucky to have all the great schools we have in Virginia.


PP here and I agree with you. It just seems crazy that any state university would require stats like these.

. Because it’s like UCLA, Berkeley snd Michigan. The four of them rank i. Top four public universities in the US. We are very fortunate to have such an institution. There are forty other public institutions in the Commoweslth for your use and the very financially smart community college transfer program.

Oh stop. This trope is so old.


Huh? DP but it’s the case.


Ignore. People are bitter when they learn what kind of stats it takes to get in.

It's not a trope, it's the way it is. Was just talking with a friend who lives in Manassas whose child and classmate got into UVa today with a much weaker profile than my Arlington kid who got declined. You are judged against your individual school. And, while UVa will swear they don't have quotas they take the same number of kids from our school every year. It's fine. They have to do that or too much of the school would be from NoVA. They should just be honest with people, lots don't understand how it works. We knew the deal going in but DD still wanted to see.

That's their parents posting. Hard to find any TJ kid posting decisions on their social media now.
