[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know how people talk about fit being really important for colleges? That is basically how DC thinks about their choice to go to TJ. Would HS have been easier at our base school? Sure. Would DC have stuck out more vs been like top 25/30% at TJ? Probably (we are at a mid range base HS not Langley). But TJ was just “DC’s people” and precisely the right fit. And while #WeCameForTheSports is used tongue in cheek DC did get to be varsity on their sports team that they almost certainly would not have made at our base school. DC was recruited to swim at a D3 SLAC and happily ED’d with merit there. DC had understood since at least 10th that the college path is harder from TJ but always thought it was worth the trade off for the TJ experience. Our family was never one gunning for Ivy though - if you are then stay at the base unless your kid is that super driven too 10% at TJ kind of kid. [/quote] What kind of merit? How much?[/quote]
