Why such a negative stigma about being from northern Virginia?

We do not have a limit on the number of students we take from TJ or any other school. If you have sat in a UVA info session at TJ in the past 10 years, you’ve heard me say this.

GPAs are fairly meaningless without context. We are concerned with the actual coursework and grades. The GPA attempts to summarize this, but you can have students with identical GPAs with very different paths shown on the transcript.
