[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, my kid is happy on the waitlist. His friends are waitlisted or rejected. All bright kids who spent thousands on TJ prep classes… he doesn’t even want to go anymore, so may just pull off the waitlist. He didn’t do the prep classes except a couple online sessions, so he thought he would just get rejected compared to kids who did the classes. I think we are thinking base school is better as a chance to stick out more and also have time to participate in more extracurriculars, sports etc. and have more of a normal high school experience. Everyone has their preference. [/quote]

We had the opposite story - DD was in tears because all of her friends got in, even the ones with inconsistent grades, or that left out parts of their SPS, or that she's helped tutor in school.  I'm not sure she was planning to go to begin with, but the unfairness of it really hit her - the fact that she did everything that was up to her right, but the county couldn't be bothered to know or care whether she belonged.[/quote]\\

There is a froshmore process, look into it.  Some of the most successful TJ students are froshmores.[/quote]

It makes sense they are successful at TJ and in the college application process because the froshmore process is based on rigor, grades, and PSAT scores. [/quote]
