A Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper article dated, July 31, 2011, contains links to information on how many students from each Virginia high school and region were accepted by UVA and W&M last year. Among other statements made, “The two schools with the highest number of acceptances are the state’s premier governor’s schools — Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria and Maggie Walker Governor’s School for Government and International Studies in Richmond. They rank No. 1 and 2, respectively, on both lists of top schools by admission numbers. Thomas Jefferson, with 425 graduates, will send 106 to U.Va. and 56 to W&M. Of Maggie Walker’s 179 graduates, 45 plan to go to U.Va. and 21 to W&M.”

My S is one of those Northern Virginia students who would be happy to increase UVA’s yield if accepted.
