[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the article was flawed. As mentioned in a Washingtonian article a few years ago, the Admissions Directors from Georgetown and UVA said they would admit kids from TJ but that since TJ sifted off the smartest kids, they wouldn't admit many from other VA publics. The the top kids were already sifted off and don't go to McLean. [/quote] Bull. Maybe the smart kids stayed in McLean (and other base schools) because they were not that interested in STEM.[/quote] +1 Tons of "smart kids" aren't "STEM" kids. They excel in the humanities and don't even desire to attend TJ. Plenty of these kids attend all the Northern VA schools. It's a fallacy that all the "top" kids go to TJ. Perhaps if they're STEM kids, but that doesn't encompass so many others who excel in different areas (history, English, languages, etc.).[/quote]
