[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a 90% chance that your kid is not going to be in the top 10% at TJ. This "is likely to be among the top of the class after accepting their TJ offer" would lead to pressure that could lead to cheating... Go to TJ, do the best that you can and dont try to force yourself to be among the top x% of TJ. This would kill all the joy of attending TJ.[/quote] Given the math level, I would modify the above and say there is a more than 95% chance that your kid will not be in the top 10% at TJ.[/quote] False, the math level is not directly related to these outcomes. Some schools lack the same opportunities as others. Being in Calc BC as a freshman won't put you at the top of the class. This isn't even a strong intelligence indicator as much as outside enrichment and high-SES schools, where there are more opportunities for acceleration.[/quote][/quote]
