TJ. vs the privates

[Anonymous]

I know plenty of people who are as ir more successful than TJ grads in math/ science careers. It is a great school, but not required for future success.

Well our Indian kid got into the big 3 and picked TJ and is very good in humanities (national. recognition) as well as math and science. I And we are quite upper class enough to pay for private tuition and live in NW DC if we wanted to.

The fact is none of the big 3 have the 2nd-year university level math, cs, and physical and biological science courses that TJ has. Most of self-possesed and bigoted posters on this forum who call (asian) TJ kids as one-dimensional have no clue what truly deep advanced level math and physical sciences consists of. Also you have no clue about the multidimensional leadership activities the TJ kids are doing in their summers and school time. So please stop the insults, it is really unfair to the wonderful and accomplished kids at TJ who also work very hard.

It is 60% asian. The 80% was a poster using hyperbole to stereotype TJ.
