[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a TJ alum (early 2000s grad) who did zero prep and had no academic related extracurriculars (just sports). We'd moved to the area right before 8th grade, so it's not like TJ had been on my radar for years. I just decided I wanted the challenge and liked the idea of a school where all classes (not just STEM) are taught at an elevated level. I didn't know anyone else who did any sort of prep classes, but I gather those courses have become more of a thing since my time. I sort of concur with PP's statement that those that are TJ material don't need TJ prep classes. [/quote] I'm a late 90s TJ grad and I didn't do any prep either, but it's gotten a lot more competitive since our day. It's interesting, unlike some of the PPs, I would absolutely encourage my kid to go to the TJ I attended in the 90s. But I'd want to do more research into what the school is like now before encouraging it for my kid now.[/quote]
