[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They explained this. It is unweighted GPA they look at, you have to have a 3.5, [b]and be in gifted classes.[/b][/quote] That's just not true, all you need is three honors classes including math and science [/quote] So, there's no boost for taking all honors or for taking Algebra rather than M7H in 7th grade? That's absurd. A kid in the higher level math should be given some credit for it. Likewise, a kid taking 4 Honors or AAP classes is taking a tougher load than a kid in only 3 Honors and should get some credit. It seems like people who want to maximize their chances of getting into TJ should then take regular English or History, whichever subject is weaker, and take M7H even if they easily qualify for Algebra. That would be the easiest way to guarantee a 4.0, which would land a kid in the top 1.5% over the kids who took harder courses but maybe got an A- in something. [/quote]
