[quote=Anonymous]If you are sending your kid to TJ to get into a better college, statistics show that that it is a mistake. If you assume every kid at TJ would be in the top 5% of the base school (maybe not a good assumption, but lets use that), they would probably all get in to UVA/VT/WM at the base school. Instead, some are rejected. If you look at the elites, there are more kids from the rest of Fairfax County than at TJ. With that said, if you are going todo cutting edge research at TJ (possible, but rare), and you find TJ's academics not particularly challenging (I know one kid), they TJ is a plus. The top 10 kids at TJ do very well. But it is hard to be the best of the best of the best.[/quote]
