[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP _ I feel like the way you framed your question gives you your own answer - you don't sound like you think TJ would be a good fit. If you have any doubts, then just have your child apply. If he gets in, that is the time to make a decision. Options are good things.

I would echo what some of the TJ parents said above that may make TJ a difficult fit for your child - many, many group projects, lots of writing, heavy work load that requires time management skills.

I will also stick up for TJ - my son had a great experience there, did not find the atmosphere toxic, was an upper middle of the pack student, loved the engineering classes, played a sport, had a great and diverse group of friends, and got into his first choice college. I am in no way suggesting that their were not unhappy kids there - some because they didn't have a cohort (hopefully admissions changes will improve) and some because of the family pressure to get perfect grades - but that is not the experience of every child.

+1, if she has to ask and is asking us to convince her, then the answer should be a no.[/quote]
