[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has already committed elsewhere so we are out. [/quote] We have a pending application @ TJ, but have also decided against going, regardless of the decision.[/quote] Why's that?[/quote] It was DD’s decision. Our local HS is excellent, she decided she wants to be around friends she has, and her focus is now more on medical school and less on engineering (and she does not feel TJ is necessary for her career path).[/quote] Your DD will have a higher GPA at the base school.[/quote] NP. How do you know this? PP, didn’t say her DD wasn’t bright or motivated. Maybe she is turned off by the AAP pre-TJ culture. I know my DC is. [/quote] She can be "bright" or even "gifted" - she will have a higher GPA at a base school than TJ.[/quote] You have no clue if that is the case. She might have been in the top 1% at TJ. Someone is in that spot, why wouldn't it be her? [/quote] My unweighted GPA went from maybe a 3.5 in middle school when I wasn't trying to a 4.0 once I had challenging classes that were more engaging at TJ. [/quote] Ummmm… how did you get into TJ with a 3.5?[/quote] Twenty years ago you could [/quote]
