[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the FCPS AAP centers that serve reasonably high SES populations, Carson is easily the least rigorous. One of the reasons so many kids get into TJ is that their academic classes are much easier than at the other AAP centers, so the kids have more time to do more extracurricular activities and do additional TJ prep, making their applications appear stronger while actually being less qualified. While of course there are Carson students who do quite well at TJ and students from other schools who struggle, on the whole they are the least academically prepared of the students coming from the major AAP centers. -former FCPS teacher[/quote] That's really good to learn and I believe this is probably true since you are a former teacher. I would think TJ knows about the gimmick, but how do you know who is heavily prepped and might struggle in TJ later on and who is real gold. I imagine the selection is less consideration than the Ivy colleges. [/quote]
