[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So so so glad my kid did not attend TJ.

It was a tough choice four years ago but I am incredibly thankful we turned them down. My kid had a good HS experience and is heading to an ivy in a few months. Hope those whose kids did not get in or those who turn it down have an equally good result in 4 years. [/quote]

If you are gunning ivy, then TJ is probably better for you.

30,000 high schools with at least 30,000 valedictorians.  A near 4.0 from the vast majority of those schools are necessary but not helpful for your application.  A near 4.0 from TJ is meaningful.

TJs senior research lab is helpful.

TJ peer effect is useful.

TJ sends about as many kids to ivy+ as the rest of FCPS combined.[/quote]

This is not the experience of the TJ kids we know. I mean, how many TJ kids have even close to a 4.0 unweighted? You are painting a false picture of reality. It may be accurate to say the top 5% of TJ’s seniors have a better chance at an ivy but absolutely incorrect to say going to tj gives you a better chance at an ivy. About 99% of the current tj families agree with this…are you the non-current tj family poster? Bc you post this a lot and no one else ever agrees.[/quote]
