Does UVA have something against TJHSST

<p>GPA is a very important factor when applying to college, especially the highly selective ones like UVa.
TJ is known for its most rigorous courses, it simply doesn’t have any course lower than honor level.
I guess what Brooklyndad was really trying to say is that UVa should give consideration to the fact that TJ’s 3.7 GPA carries different quality in comparison to most of HS in the nation if not all.</p>

<p>I believe UVa is fully aware of that and the sad thing is we would never know the truth since his D didn’t apply. I know for fact that UVa took TJ’s students with 3.45 GPA as recently as last year.</p>

<p>I’d like to thank Dean J for exhibiting the patience of a saint.</p>

163

<p>I got caught up reading this thread after UVA decisions came out.</p>

<p>I agree with Marsden. Amazing patience. Thanks Dean J.</p>

164

<p>WV, good post. Clear, concise and to the point.</p>

165

<p>of course we know uva loves tj students. so many are accepted! but i am just wondering, does anyone have statistics to how many students out of those who applied form tj made uva THIS year? also… i mean. uva obviously likes tj. but… they can’t accept the whole school…</p>

<p>Rainbow, if you are a TJ student/parent, you would have access to this data through Naviance (I think it’s called Family Connections or something like that on your side of things).</p>

167

<p>dude uva is not an extension of TJ… they need to accept other people too. plus stats aren’t everything.</p>

168

<p>Actually, quite impressive (as usual)…</p>

<p>Accepted/Applied = 233/324 (72%)
Attending/Accepted = 92/233 = 28%
The lowest GPA accepted(Weighted) = 3.92</p>

<p>You have to agree that TJHSST is a super high school and UVa loves it… why not?</p>

169

<p>Oh, the average SAT score accepted was 2219 (which is about the average of the whole senior class).</p>

170

<p>Your number is wrong for attending/accepted. It’s 39.5 percent, not 28 percent. 28 percent is attending/applied, which is kind of a meaningless number.</p>

<p>What were the results at TJHSST for UVA admissions this year?</p>

172

<p>Brooklynborndad seriously needs to move on like he said in the wordy post #140.
I’m sure that his daughter did not apply to UVA and got rejected. Maybe he did.</p>

173

<p>Guys this is from April of 2010. None of this really matters anymore lol</p>

The bottom of the class is TJ is equal to at least the middle third in other FCPS schools AND THE COLLEGE ADMISSION OFFICERS NEED TO KNOW THAT.

175

They disqualify students who are obviously overqualified and who they know won’t go to their school. Any college does that

UVA does not practice yield protection. This thread is years old and we’ve already established that TJ students do exceptionally well in the admission process at UVA and other schools.
