[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me or is this list underwhelming?  If the primary goal of having a child attend TJ is to get them into an elite college, I think many of those TJ parents to be (and their kids) might be in for a rude awakening.  Certainly not all TJ parents are pushing their kids to attend TJ so Johnny can get into Harvard, Stanford or MIT but prolly a large number do think this way whether they admit it or not.[/quote]

There are a lot of families in this area who are in the financial "donut hole," i.e. too rich to qualify for need-based FA, and too poor to pay full price.

This is why looking through a list like this gives you zero information about the quality of the students.  Most donut hole families do not even look at elite schools because they cannot afford to send their kids there.[/quote]

TJ has the best college placements in the country despite 71% of the graduates facing racial discrimination in college admissions and lacking legacy preferences. [/quote]

Unfortunately the placements are declining due to a flawed, subjective admissions policy.[/quote]

Flawed subjective admissions policy designed to increase black and hispanic students at TJ at the expense of qualified white and asian applicants.[/quote]

I feel for the qualified kids who are bumped out by the 1/3 of TJ students requiring remedial math.[/quote]
