[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are still not able to comprehend that with a mid-year GPA from TJ 4.4X, SAT close to 1600, very good ECs, my child got rejected from all Ivies applied, waitlisted in a few T20 schools mostly private and UVA. We are trying to understand what went wrong. Really bothering us for the last couple of months how this can happen with this profile. Was GPA too low?. Did rigor matter at all?. They take the hardest courses but kids from other schools get into T20 schools with less grade or rigor.[/quote]

You would have been 100x better off attending a lower resource school. I am not sure why TJ parents haven't grasped this yet?[/quote]

Maybe some people think what you actually learn in HS is more important than where you go to college. Students who are very well prepared can thrive and excel at strong schools that are not T20. Kids who get into hyperselective schools from weak high schools might do well, but many of them struggle, especially in the first year.[/quote]
