[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=donalan]Whoever thinks being smart will get you into TJ is deluded.  My son is straight A's, all AAP, taking Honors Geometry in 8th grade tested in the top 25% of the finalist test for TJ and did not get in.  You need to go to prep classes where adults train the kids to memorize the answer type the admissions wants.  Also you need to pad your child's resume years in advance so they pass the 'STEM Passion' qualifiers.

Know that your child, however hard working and smart, will be compared to hundreds of kids that have been professionally prepared by trained adults for the TJ test literally for years of their young lives.  Again, not saying this is good or bad but it is reality.  My son would have loved TJ (we didnt care if he went or not but he wanted to go), we failed to understand the competition.[/quote]

What "finalist" test? Are you talking about the SIS? Those results are not given at the end of the admissions cycle, only test results from the initial TJ test are released at the time of acceptance/denial.[/quote]

Top 25% is not very high.[/quote]
