Anyone have the list of colleges TJ's class of 2019 is headed to?

[Anonymous]

Anyone knows about any student how went from TJ to Ivy League or other top university? What kind of gpa or profile he/she had?

Curious from the tone of your post and just guessing - Did your daughter apply to TJ and not get in and you now want to find out if she got into a better school than her classmates who did get in to TJ? Or did your daughter not apply to TJ because your family believes that TJ kids are disadvantaged in college applications as they must compete with their classmates and you want to validate that decision?

I ask because I agree with all the prior posters that there is no way a teenager can't use social media or the high school grapevines to find out where her former friends are headed - just feels odd to post here.

You nailed it. This is exactly what is happening.

For example, Duke: Naviance says average GPA 4.4, SAT 1555. But, the scattergram is a sea of red— much more red than green— there. And is still very red at 4.5, 1580. You really need at least 4.4, 1555 and something special— national title, national science fair winner, something. Or to be closer to 4.6.

Np. I don't know why people always ascribe the worst motive to posters. It's possible OP's DD doesn't want to come across as trying to do the things you've ascribed to OP here by asking the same questions on social media. And OP's DD would be right if the kids are anything like the parents who've responded on this thread. OP's DD might also not want to seem needy by pursing this after being ghosted by these former friends.

Unimpressive.

Is displaying foolishness a habit for you?

People ascribe bad motives to OP because DCUM is full of TJ hate. And her story makes no sense.

It’s up.

Self report by students. 425 grads. 421 headed directly to college. 340 reported to the TJ today survey.

UVA and VT are very, very low (WM is about what you would expect. My educated guess is that the majority of the non-reports are VT/UVA.

Have at it!

A pretty impressive list this year (even to hardcore anti-TJ'ers). I believe these are matriculants, not admittees. Here is a partial list:

Berkley 8
Chicago 8
Columbia 2
Cornell 13
Duke 4
Harvard 5
MIT 7
Michigan 14
Penn 3
Princeton 4
Stanford 3
Washington University (St. Louis) 4
Williams 2
Yale 5

Harvard 15. 10 others were missed or didn't report to the list.

This is an impressive list. I am, however, surprised by the low number for MIT. Is this common? This is not a negative comment because the other numbers listed are incredibly impressive. I really am just curious.

Why doesn't it make sense? Her DD feels awkward asking, so OP tried to see if she could find out.

There were 12 MIT admits this year , which is roughly on the same level as other years. However, 5 rejected MIT opting for other schools, including all 4 girls admitted.

OP, where did the friend end up? After all the negative comments, you actually did come to the right place to answer the question

Not sure why non-reports would be specifically VT/UVA, but I agree they are likely low. The trend for several years has been that a higher percentage of TJ students are going to non-state schools.

Unusual for TJ to hit the SLACs so hard. As a SLAC grad, I love it. These are great science PhD feeders and pre-Ned schools.

14 to CMU— I know several going in CS. Super hard admission.
