[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the numbers prove is, unless you are at the TOP of TJ, it will not help you in college admissions.   Sure, the top 50% get into UVA, but, the top 50% would certainly be in the top 10% of the base school which also gets into UVA.

UVA isn’t the only great school in the world. Or even VA. It will always have a soft TJ quota. And a soft McLean quota. And a soft noVA quota.   Hopefully Ead means kids who really want it but are slightly lower ranked get a look.

But, there are other great schools out there. Is a T10 Engineering school a bad college outcome?  Chicago? Williams?  NYU?  Grinnell?  Tufts?  A UC? CWRU?  Pitt with a ton of merit?  I’m not seeing a lot of weak links in this list.  [/quote]

But did TJ help these kids get into those schools?  That is what is unknown.  I know at the better base schools, if you look at the top 20% of the students, the college admissions are comparable to TJ.  It is not TJ that gets kids into good schools, but the fact that only top kids go to TJ.[/quote]
