[quote=Anonymous]This looks quite impressive to me. I went to a prep school in New England, and I remember that in my class only a small number of kids got into Harvard/Yale/Princeton...I knew more kids who graduated from TJ at my Ivy than my prep school. Everybody went to college, most to private colleges, but the fact is that admissions officers at the best schools want a diverse class and accept a very small percentage of applicants. When you apply, you are being compared to other kids from your school. This is the thing people who come to the U.S. from other countries seem to traditionally understand least about U.S. college admissions and perhaps partially the reason for the current demographics at TJ: if you have a brilliant, hardworking child, if you want to put lots of eggs into the "college admissions" basket your best bet would be to move to the lowest performing, poorest school district you can trust your child to succeed at. If they have a rough time there and manage to overcome various challenges to succeed, all the better. [/quote]
