Are you serious? Not to knock TJ, but the 2023 Instagram college placements were fine, even good, but not amazing. There are over 500 graduating TJ seniors, and 10 students posted Ivy destinations. Most 2023 students are attending state flagships. That’s good, but let’s not overstate the case.
You seem really upset and you sound a lot like the poster who was adamant about Sidwell placing 50% of their graduates in T20 schools. Please calm down. It’s ok to appreciate amazing college acceptances from all schools. It doesn’t mean your private school is any less.
I never mentioned Ivies. Most of their graduates are going to T30 colleges and that is very impressive. And yes they are able to achieve that without paying a hefty price for their high school and while competing alongside 500 extremely competent peers so good for them!
I mentioned Ivies, and that’s what I look for first. T30/50 mostly state schools, are nice (although the University Central Florida and Ave Maria definitely don’t make the cut). However, I’m simply not interested in VT, UMD, GT, Purdue, Ohio State, UNC, etc…Why don’t you start a similar thread for magnets in the PUBLIC SCHOOL forum?!? There may be more parents there who are excited by those universities.
