[quote=Anonymous]And if so, would you mind giving me a quick rundown of what your daughter thinks of the program?

This is (of course) for my daughter who waffles between wanting to take the test and attend TJ, or finally getting to go to a school nearby our house (she's been center schooled since third grade) and meet up with her neighborhood friends.

I'm on the fence.  She is fascinated by science-especially lab work- but struggles to get a B+  average in Algebra.  Other than Algebra she has an A average in her other classes and likes to sing, paint (canvases and her nails), goof around- she's an average kid who likes school and seems to enjoy most challenges.  I'm not sure if the TJ choice is one made of genuine interest, or is it just another challenge that she and her friends  want as another 'smart girl' trophy.

There are about five kids in our nieghborhood who attend TJ, but all are boys and excell in computer engineering with little outside interests.  Not much help.

I know the average admitted to the school, so this question is more than likely moot, but: Has you daughter had a good experience there?  Does she ever feel cowed by the male/female ratio?  Do you have any advice you'd want to pass on?[/quote]
