Got accepted to TJ is just beginning. To finish TJ in the next four years will be challenged. Will need to work very hard to get through the next four years at TJ. Both kids at TJ now and scores were 50M and 48V. |

PP with the 50M and 48V, are your kids drowning in homework, can you describe the workload, grades, etc.
Does anyone know if the TJ test scores correlate with how well the kids will do over the next four years? Also, how critical is the course selection? Can one graduate with the "minimum" required AP and honors courses as a strategy for surviving TJ? |

Yes, there will be a lot of homework and don't expect too much of weekend break either. Time management is very important. Both kids told me that they are working harder than their friends who went to UVA. Most of TJ students will know what they like to study by the end of Freshman year. They will select course in accordance with their "major" and most of TJ students take between 6 to 10 AP classes, it depends how good they are and how well the AP fit in their school schedule. |

+100 I was thinking the same exact thing. I am a woman with a graduate degree in Biochemistry. It's just the facts, not a stereotype. The engineering group at my agency is predominantly male. There are more women in the Biological and Genetics fields. |

Yes, that is right, time management is very important. My child at TJ is very involved in a sport and has been for years. The discipline and organizational skills learned through participation in sports are key for my child to doing well at school while still spending many hours every week in athletics. I do think it's healthy to keep up participation in outside activities while at TJ to avoid the feeling of burnout that can come with all academics, all the time. They need balance in their lives: they are still children. |

Said the same thing to my DS when he entered and left GT all those years ago. Not so hard for some people. |

Take it easy. Less than 10% of the Asian high school students in Fairfax end up at TJ. The rest survive. |

Sounds to me like the revised admissions process may be working better than in the past. |
