Are you telling me that the kid from TJ who goes to a top 20 has better career prospects than the kid from the base school that goes to a top 20?  I'd love to see the data on that.[/quote]
I’m observing a career path of DD who graduated from TJ last year and took a lot of post-AP math and CS classes at school. Last summer, right after her HS graduation she interned as a software engineer. The company she interned for told her that based on her skill set acquired at TJ she doesn’t need to go to college at all and can continue working for them full time. As a college freshman, she learned that the most competitive companies that pay over $200k upon graduation have internship programs for freshmen - because they want to hire the best of the best. In order to receive such an internship as a freshman, a student needs to take a complicated technical test, they are expected to be able to work as software engineers at that point. When I read DCUM in the past, I was impressed that some of the CS students were offered $140k upon graduation. Now based on my DD’s experience, I know that there are companies that pay $230-270k as an entry level salary to those who interned for them as freshmen and sophomores. [/quote]

That is inspirational!  I will share this with my son.
