[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ mom here: You asked for a portrait. Most of the TJ students that I have met are outstanding in something. That is, they are head and shoulders above the rest of the ordinary students and very motivated to pursue it. I have not yet met a TJ student that does not spend a great deal of time on homework -- that is a downside of TJ if your student does not like or tolerate a lot of homework time. TJ is like going to junior college at 14. [/quote] OP here. Thanks. This is helpful. This does not sound like my daughter. We are going to really talk with her about why she wants to go through the application process. If she has a good reason (I think it could be a good opportunity to learn x, I want to work through the application process), great. If not, we will try to gently dissuade her. She is smart, but not any smarter than any of her peers. She loves (some types of) science but also has non-STEM interests and aptitudes. [/quote]
