Where are TJ kids going?

[Anonymous]

Tech had a cycle where they liberally rejected TJ students. My son was at a weekend EC meeting when the rejections came through. Many of these kids were hoping to go to Tech Engineering and had great stats and all that. Was shocking. My son didn’t want to apply after witnessing that. UMD became a more popular choice. Many kids from that class landed there and loved it.

Odd relationship between the Commonwealth' premier tech university and HS.

Tech admissions is nothing if not odd.

Haha kinda true! On a related note, my wife’s team at work had a summer intern from TJ and she was blown away by the high quality / highly technical work by the girl from TJ (the interns presented their work at the end of the summer). Everyone was clamoring to have her join their team.

Probably the best year in recent memory! 10+ MIT, at least 8 H.

Usually 10+ kids do get into MIT every year except for last year. But, I agree there are more Harvard acceptances this year. I heard a few Yale and UPenn acceptances, but nothing much about Princeton/Cornell/Brown.

10 accepted at MIT out of a graduating class of 500 is not impressive. BTW, Collegiate in NY and St. Ann is Brooklyn have a 50% ivy rate. (Now that's impressive.)

That is indeed impressive. Are those public schools? If not, you’re comparing apples to oranges.

No, both are private. Of course, none of the elite DC privates are sending 50% of their students to Ivies, either.

If you test and predicate the private school admittance on that student being “ivy caliber,” then you end up with an entire school of kids with top 20 admit potential. Not surprising or impressive that any of these schools then get tons of kids into these top schools.

You have no idea what you're talking about. 10 schools in the COUNTRY probably send that many kids to MIT.
