It’s pretty clear who the smarter kids at TJ are. They are the ones who don’t need to cheat in all their classes. Way too much handholding and oh-it-was-your-first-mistake going on at TJ these days. But there are certainly still kids who can handle TJ rigor and they will do well in college & beyond. If you get into TJ — find that peer group; they exist.

Cheating is rampant there, by all ranges of intelligence.

Cheating is about the same there as anywhere else.

Were the acceptances the ones with national awards? This is the info the straight # don’t tell and that would be more interesting to me bc I always know if kid is top 10 at TJ they are getting into good schools. I’m more curious how far out of top 10 when start to not get in and are those GPAs 4.4999 v 4.5 and SAT of 1585 v 1590….

In the past a 4.5 seemed to get you in, even with an Sat in the 1450 range. 4.4 with a 1500 and 4.3 with a 1550. A couple of outliers that I assume were athletic recruits or exceptional in some other way.

Athletic recruits from TJ? I'm not sure that makes sense.

They obviously had interesting applications! It doesn't mean they got some secret pass.

A 4.23 GPA with a 1360 SAT is one outlier
A couple under 4.2 weighted GPA with SAT scores in the 1400s

This year?
Were they a recruited athlete? Any hooks?

Did you read the post that I was responding to?

+1000

TJ is just like Mount Vernon, Lewis, Falls Church or any other FCPS high school. They all have 90+ acceptances to UVA and 50+ acceptances to T20. No different, nothing to look here.

You sound like Elon Musk.

He's mocking you and calling you an idiot.
