[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That TJ mom dropped the mic with that list! All I hear are crickets from the Big3.[/quote]
It's the same list from earlier in this thread.  Bottom line is that TJ sends about 10% of students to Ivies+MIT+Stanford, while Big 3 sends about 20-25%.  In other words, 1-in-10 kids roaming the halls of TJ will end up at those top colleges, while 1-in-4 at a Big 3 will go.  If you want to favor TJ, you'll argue that TJ has high raw numbers than the much smaller private schools.

Speaking for myself, I think neither approach is demonstrably better than the other, and each family should pick the option that's best for its individual child.  But for some reason, TJ supporters want to keep insisting it should be a competition.  Quite frankly, it's that hyper-competitive approach to education that I find most unattractive about TJ.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that.  Nowadays, no one who is top 25% at a Big 3 is getting into an Ivy, MIT, or Stanford... not even legacies.[/quote]
