[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious: is it common for students with very high GPAs at TJ to not dominate or even participate in math/science competitions or fairs? I’m sure there are many overlaps in these two areas, but want to know how big is the non-overlapping part.[/quote] These are very common activities. A lot of top students participate because competition honors are one of the few ways to differentiate yourself.[/quote] Each competition team has only a few students (mostly juniors/seniors), the vast majority of students are not winning or participating in academic competitions. Even science fair participation is not as high as you would think. Science fair projects take a lot of time and chances of winning and moving on to the Regeneron level are very low (around 10 students per year).[/quote]
