[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP - for most of the TJ students not at a "top" school (however you'd define it) ... whether or not you'd pick say, Arizona State or Tennessee for your DS, a TJ kid going there likely is getting a full scholarship to work at essentially the graduate school level with professors studying exactly what they are interested in ....

This is the standard troll line...everyone at TJ is a wunderkind!  Everyone gets a full ride that does not go to an Ivy!  They go to Average State College because that's the best in subject X!

The fact is 1/3 of the TJ grads were rejected by UVA.  The fact is only the very top TJ grads are full ride candidates at any respectable college.  The fact is they changed admission policy and these students are now graduating:

TJ is a great school for the upper half!  Fantastic opportunities.  But selling the idea all students are wunderkind if they attend TJ is just wrong.[/quote]

TJ grads receive significant amount of merit aid/scholarship money. For example, class of 2015 received approximately 39 million dollars in merit aid so that tells you the merit aid is an important consideration for many TJ grads considering many top schools do not award merit aid and VA schools also have very limited merit aid as well.
