[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You make a valid point but you also have to consider that many TJ grads forego Ivy or Stanford to attend other top 25 schools since those non-ivy top 25 schools offer substantial merit scholarships including full-rides. Looking at both acceptances and matriculation numbers along with the amount of merit based scholarship amounts received by the graduating class (approximately 45 million dollars) would be more informative. Most TJ families are middle/upper middle HHI familes that do not qualify for financial aid so it would be difficult to turn down $150,00 to $250,000 merit based scholarships to top 25 schools.[/quote]

Well, for better or worse, I really don't have to consider those points ... because I'm not trying to argue that private schools are holistically better than TJ.  My point in posting was simply to respond to the demonstrable factual inaccuracy in your prior post.  You seem focused on supporting your pre-determined conclusion that TJ must be superior.  I fortunately don't really care about the conclusion, so I can just follow the data regardless of where it leads me.  If you'd like to post actual data about the relative demographics of TJ compared to local private schools, then maybe you can support this new argument you're trying to craft.  Until then though, I have no role.  Good luck with your quest.[/quote]
