[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child got a A- in Algebra 1 in 7th grade. Is it OK for TJ app next year? PS. We don't care if the child gets into TJ or not but just trying to understand the implications of a A- [/quote] If your school sent more than 1.5% of its 8th graders to TJ then an A- will reduce but not eliminate your chances. On the bright side, your high school is probably pretty good. Your chances of getting into UVA or VT are probably better from your base school than from TJ. With the new (almost random) process, the peer effect is very good at base schools. A lot of times the brightest kids don't get into TJ and there is a critical mass of highly competitive kids to form a peer group.[/quote]
