[quote=Anonymous]What is the implication of getting mostly B's in TJ v/s getting mostly A's in base schools on college admission? While I understand that TJ kids will be very well prepared for college courses and will do well long term, is it true that they may not get to certain colleges from TJ and might have gotten into those colleges from base school if they would have worked hard in base school? Do we know how much consideration is given by colleges for TJ students with B grades or lower GPA's? Has it been quantified? For example, is a GPA of 4.1 from TJ (with post AP courses) is considered equivalent to a GPA of 4.5 from base school (with AP courses)? The GPA numbers I mentioned here are for example only and I would like to know numbers closer to reality. This is assuming that other factors like extra-curricular activities, leadership, volunteering, race, SAT scores etc are more or less the same between TJ and base school student. [/quote]
