[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend with a smart 8th grader said, while he wanted to apply before, he doesn't want to apply now because he doesn't see it as desirable as it was before the admissions changes. He said if it wasn't going to have the best of the best there, it's not worth the extra trouble it takes to go there.[/quote]

Good! TJ wants kids passionate about STEM not kids looking only for prestige. Your friends DS will be much better off at base school. [/quote]

Exactly![/quote]

Excellent. It says something that a kid is already so worried about prestigious school in 8th grade over the quality of learning. I would put money on the fact that any 8th grader really interested in STEM will get a more focused, more advanced STEM education at TJ then another school. But if you are not really interested in the STEM classes, don't apply. This kid sounds like one of the ones applying only for the prestige status and not the academic opportunities. [/quote]
