Link to the recent regs on TJ admissions.  [/quote]

There it is!! Algebra 1 in 8th grade would suffice, not necessarily geometry.[/quote]

Only about 4-5% of the admitted students have taken only Algebra I.[/quote]
This statement is worthless without link to a creditable source. Or at least specify the academic year it applies to.[/quote]

:roll:   What does it matter?  The number of students with only Algebra I Honors under their belt has been declining for years- the stats are in line with that.

Frankly, I don't think that any student who has just completed Algebra I Honors needs or should go to TJ.  There are plenty of classes available to them in their home HS- they have plenty of options there.

Agreed. Incoming TJ students with Algebra 1 typically have math sequence as follows: Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, Calculus AB. These courses are all available at any base schools and they would probably earn higher grades at base school compared to TJ.[/quote]

You better go tell that to the TJ admissions. ASAP.[/quote]
