....what is not true?[/quote]
That SO is a golden ticket for TJ, presumably [/quote]

I know I heard that all the top SO kids from Longfellow got into TJ.[/quote]

It’s not true. [/quote]

FYI, some top kids in LMS SO team chose not to commit to TJ this year simply because local McLean High is 2nd to the best and has a stunning college admission success this year.[/quote]

As well as previous years. McLean high is also a great school and has a Band lots of LMS kids love.[/quote]

I wouldn’t underestimate the impact of the MIT-bound McLean senior who won 7th place nationally this year in the Regeneron talent search and was on the school’s winning “It’s Academic” teams. Sends a strong message to families in that community that kids graduating from high schools other than TJ can do extremely well. [/quote]

True. It is a shame that no TJ kid went into STS national final (top 50) in 2023. A big slap in the face. This honor could have been TJ's if this McLean senior were not rejected by TJ back in 2019.[/quote]
