[quote=Anonymous]We are being strongly suggested to consider enrolling in TJHSST after having submitted the application and the high likelihood of receiving an offer based on our middle school 1.5% quota allocation. DC is reasonable with grades and is currently enrolled in Algebra 1. But DC is lacking strong motivation to accept a TJ offer, with the understanding that it will be more demanding than their base high school and may leave little time for activities like playing their favorite basketball or continuing saxophone practice outside of school. On one hand I hear people saying a C grade at TJ is worth more than an A at base school, and will more or less require the same effort. Is this true from a college admission standpoint? Also how does one motivate their student to be interested in STEM when they are more interested in basketball and saxophone? Are subjects like math, physics, chemistry, etc., more difficult at TJ than at base school, and why?[/quote]
