But that’s not what happened. Quite a few TJ parents said going to TJ does not help with college admissions, or does not help unless you take advantage of the highest level STEM classes and apply to colleges that specialize in that STEM area. I was one of those parents. I think my kid will end up at a different college, because TJ has helped him focus on what exactly he is interested in and he has developed a strong sense of what he does and does not want in a college. But I doubt TJ helps him get into a college with a better numerical ranking. Too much grade deflation to start with.  That said I think DS will end up at a better college FOR HIM.  And Ithink he is much better prepared to succeed once he gets to college.

But mostly,  my kid is at TJ because he loves being at TJ.  A smart kid who puts in the amour work needed to succeed at TJ will do fine with college admission, not matter what high school they graduate from.[/b] [/quote]

My TJ kid will get into a college that is right for him as will my base HS attending kid.[/quote]
