STA vs TJHSST

[Anonymous]

Wasn’t there just a post about these two schools? And why is everyone telling OP to switch from STA to Potomac? What a ridiculous idea.

I think it is because usually privates school family try to boost their school, and if that is not relevant, they will endorse another private school…., just against public school.

Apply to TJ, and if your kid gets in, learn as much as you can. There is no school in the country that can touch TJ in terms of hands-on STEM experiences and robotics is just one of MANY exceptional opportunities there.

Take the $200K that you would have spent on high school and use it for undergrad and/or grad school if needed.

I like TJ but if u could have comfortably afforded to pay $50k/year/kid plus all the extras, I'd send my kid to Potomac. Their teaching is better, their college results are better everywhere except places like MIT, CMU, CalTech

Their college results are definitely not better than TJ.

Potomac parents always try to insert the school into top private schools conversations.

TJ is good but that's going overboard.

Why does everyone carp on college results so much? With a really narrow number of exceptions does it really matter? What about the things you learn and the person you become in high school and then again in college?

I graduated from TJ, when to a non-T100 college because it was the best fit for me, and then went to a no-name grad school part time for my masters while working. I work with plenty of PhDs from much more prestigious programs. It's all a wash now. And the path I took perfectly prepared me for where I am.

College results matter.
They are not all that matter but Ivy+ undergrad affects both your first job and your first wife.
HYPSM undergrad stays with you for most of your career.

Very revealing

PP

that was supposed to be funny not revealing.

Lols. Is there any guarantee for the second and third wife too?

It depends on how your career is going

Because OP lives in Mclean and national cathedral schools are not enough of an improvement on Potomac to justify the committee especially if robotics programs are a factor.

They definitely are. Potomac's graduating class is 1/5 the size of TJ

In no sense is it overboard. I’d challenge you to name one school that has anything approaching the equipment TJ has in its labs.

These 3 schools no doubt an excellent school and emphasis on sciences.
While Stuy more advanced in humanity, the advantage of the TJ is the senior reaserch lab. If you want to know the list, google can quickly help you.

We are talking about the labs facility and equipment, between that schools.
