Ten years ago the vast majority of TJ seniors who applied to Virginia’s premier university, The University of Virginia, were accepted. Over 200 students applied each year and over 140 chose to attend. Many of those students became Echols Scholars and Rodman Scholars. Every year the number of students from TJ who are accepted by UVA has declined although more students apply each year. In 2011 and 2012, TJ sent 106 students to UVA. Last year the number was down to only 87 students attending UVA from TJ. Is there a quota at UVA that discriminates against Jefferson students? Many parents and students at TJ believe that to be the case, just as we know there is a quota for students from Northern Virginia. More details here.
