[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at TJ and a 4.3 is great and 3B+ is great. But it’s not top 10 great from TJ. Those schools are only going to take so many TJ kids. If you don’t have a Siemens finalist or a recruitable athlete, give it a shot and apply, but don’t hold your breath. Especially if they are looking at something like engineering or CS. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: TJ is a bubble and gives you a warped view of success. If your kid stays on that track, they will have no trouble getting into UVA or Michigan or a good UC or CMU or one of a dozen other colleges that will put them in a great position to go to the exact same grad school they would go to from Stanford. Think longer term than the ranking of where they get into college. Look at where that college places graduates. [/quote]
