[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently a parent of kid at TJ. Basically its all about the GPA. Kids are cheating left and right to get A's and also taking relatively easy courses to get an A. The [b]TJ name provides enough cover to consider all course quite rigorous as compared to base schools[/b] Am I the only one seeing this?[/quote] TJ applicants get compared among themselves, especially at their popular destinations, not with base school applicants. College admissions know all about TJ grades and course rigor. Without taking the most rigorous courses, it is not practical to go over the 4.5+ weighted GPA. UVA's cutoff for TJ applicants has been 4.3, according to Naviance scattergram. Cheating was inevitable with the switch in admission criteria from merit to essay lottery. Colleges admissions are most likely aware of this too. [/quote]
