[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certainly not. My son didn't give it much thought until the end of 7th grade (we were at a middle school which only sends a few kids each year). Many kids are admitted to TJ every year with little to no TJ-specific preparation. [b] Your kid obviously needs to be very bright and able to communicate why they want to go to TJ[/b] (this is the thrust of the essay portion of the admissions process). [/quote] +1 My DD's best friend got into TJ from an APS middle school. She did zero prep, parents weren't even sure they wanted her to go. She's just really smart. Only had the usual APS science classes (no AAP) but did take computer programming classes in 7th-8th grade for her electives.[/quote]
