Satellite built by TJ students scheduled for launch by NASA November 19

PP is absolutely right. TJ students crush the SAT because it isn't hard for them - not because their parents sent them to a school with high SAT scores. Most TJ students could crush the SAT before they even enter TJ - and some actually do in 7th and 8th grade (look up Johns Hopkins SET or Duke TIP programs - neither a slouch school independently). If my kid is interested in math or science - and gifted enough to max out standardized tests for the 8th grade and above -- darn straight I would like him/her to have a chance to experience the intellectual abundance of TJ,including all the lab, engineering, and other supplies provided by - gasp - corporations. I won't be interested on trying to game the system with a child whose truly 99th percentile. I am pretty sure they'll do ok with college selection and grad school is way more important anyway. You'd be better off for grad school showing summa from nowhere state than the dregs at Harvard.

Naysayers are jealous because their 'snowflakes" didn't get to participate and claim credit.
