[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean when you say top students? All As or something else.[/quote] Someone posted on here there were rejections of kids who qualified for USAJMO in 7th grade. This is a contest that takes around the top 100 math students in the country. And that is among 10th graders and below. 7th or 8th grader to make this in Virginia is rare, but they couldn't find room in a class of 500. They also reject5 winners of MathCounts, Science Olympiad, and other contests. Really anyone who qualifies for the earlier round AIME should be accepted.[/quote] "I want to go to TJ because I'm better than everyone else and if you send me to my base school I'll be bored to tears"?[/quote] TJ would be great for this student. They won't be bored to tears at TJ and they'll learn that they're not the smartest person in the region.[/quote] TJ might be great for that student, but that student would be awful for TJ. And in the end, the job is to create the best possible learning environment for the students who are there, to maximize the products coming from each class of students.[/quote]
