No.
Better yet, drop that sport for some long-term meaningful community service and you’re golden.

You had to bump an almost year old thread to make this comment? Really?

I just went through all this last year with my kid.
A ton of kids get into UVA and W&M. About the amount that I think should, considering it is the flagship.
The kids who didn't get in just weren't as good.
Mine didn't apply. We just picked a flagship that was a better match and got some merit aid.

Many TJ students may get ACCEPTED to UVa but few of them ENROLL because they actually enroll at Ivies and other private schools.
More TJ students end up at UVA than any other college or university even if it and Tech are safeties for others. Your statement is completely wrong.
Last year 224 were admitted to UVA and 62 actually are attending.
Which is likely more than from any other HS in the country. Not "a few."

Cause they’re all really rich? I know a number of highly able - and likable- TJ grads who went to Tech.

What?
See name calling at 12:55. A new low for the College and University Discussion.
Ah, but 10:21 - calling the parent "delusional" - wasn't low and unnecessary. Look, if you're the parent lying about college counseling within FCPS, then get your facts straight before coming here and spewing nonsense.
I'm not 10:21.
