[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an MIT grad of a non-TJ high school, I wouldn't say it's "murder" for non-TJ students.  Like many other competitive schools and competitive programs within state universities or lower-ranked universities, MIT is challenging and isn't a cakewalk for anyone.  It doesn't matter whether you go to TJ or another high school.  If you're making it into MIT, Princeton, CalTech, or any T10, whether you make it from TJ or Woodson High (or fill in your non-TJ high school), you know what you're getting into and you also have the caliber to succeed and graduate.  The profiles of the students making it into these schools are atypical.  We didn't just get into the schools solely on our academic standing.  The path to the T10 starts young and most of us far exceed the norm when it comes to academic performance.  [/quote]

MIT and Cal Tech are the only schools where I hear TJ grads seriously complain about the rigor.[/quote]

I'm the poster who went to MIT.  I am friends with people who were at the T10 and the non-T10.  We all complained about rigor.  Some classes were manageable.  Some classes were killer hard.  Some professors were amazing.  Some professors shouldn't be professors.  [/quote] This doesn't contradict the PP[/quote]
