[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Original Poster here,

So yes, my daughter has been prepping for TJ since she heard about it, she has straight A's, a high IQ, and is determined to get in, but I'm just worried about how she's going to manage everything, along with her extra curriculars (sport, service work, art). Do you guys have any organization and time-management tips? Those are the things she struggles the most with.
I appreciate it, Thanks![/quote]

OP
Plz try to ignore most of the replies here. There are a few posters who are obsessed with posting the same arguments (“TJ top half is awesome, bottom half sucks, this means new process is terrible” and “TJ is so much better now; it used to be full of cheaters”). Both are equally tiresome and I haven’t met any of these loonies IRL in my interactions with other parents at TJ.

To your questions - lots of kids do ECs at TJ. Honestly it is probably rare for a kid not to be involved in at least one decently time consuming EC. Plenty of them play a sport; sports environment is great as it’s not hyper competitive.

DD in 11th has managed it by being really diligent with using bits of time. Bus ride can be a time for some work, during crunch weeks 8th period can be used. And the biggest thing has been that sue invests a fair amount of time each weekend in getting ahead so she doesn’t have a crushing amount to do on weeknights when she has her main EC.

Your kid sounds like they are probably a good candidate for being up to and enjoying the challenge of the school. Good luck to her! [/quote]
