[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a freshman at TJ.

Last year, the problem-solving essay / test was administered on 2/3 and the first-round admission email arrived on 4/12.[/quote]

Is it 2 weeks to decide?[/quote]

IIRC, yes - last year it was 2 weeks.

Also:  please please please do not force your child to attend TJ if they do not want to go.  My son knows several ninth graders who are miserable because their parents forced them to choose TJ.  Let your child guide the choice.[/quote]

Translation: "There's a good chance my kid ends up on the waitlist because they attend Carson or Longfellow or Rocky Run or Stone Hill. Please turn down your offer of admission so that my kid has a better shot."

You're going to start seeing a ton of these posts at this time of year - and remember: your kid can always go back to their base school if TJ isn't the right fit, but they can't decide that their base school isn't challenging enough three weeks in and get your offer to TJ back.

Regretting the choice to try TJ after a few weeks is fixable - regretting the choice not to isn't and you'll be saddled with that for the rest of your parenting life.[/quote]
