[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s top 10 percent gpa end of freshman year ( weighted and unweighted? ? [/quote]

What is the significance of top 10% at TJ compared to bases?  Some say top 15% or even 20% will put you on par with top 5% at a base, true?[/quote]

No one says this. Your ranking is school-related only just like your rigor is school-related and often the standardized testing is. A kid who attends a school where a 1300 sat is almost unheard of (as being very high) looks great. A major reason Dartmouth went test required was bc it found some underrepresented students weren’t submitting lower scores for fear of rejection even though those scores would have helped them. So a kid at TJ with a 1590 isn’t trumping that kid in testing. Each is compared to his own school. [/quote]

So it's no point to go to TJ unless you're after the "TJ experience"[/quote]

Sounds like you’re trying to make my response about something else. The question wasn’t whether to go or not go to tj or whether tj is worthy as an experience notwithstanding how it may impact college acceptances. This is what you’re implying I was saying with my answer.

I was simply responding to this statement, which was false:

“Some say top 15% or even 20% at TJ will put you on par with top 5% at a base, true?”[/quote]
