[quote=Anonymous]My advice as a TJ mom is: think before you say yes. It’s a very flattering offer and the impulse is to say yes yes yes. But TJ is a very hard school and time consuming. Expect every weekend to be consumed with homework. If sports are added expect to never see your student. Take into consideration commuting time. If your student is borderline (like you wonder why accepted) it might be better to decline. Being in the bottom half of TJ class is pretty terrible for a bright student. And no colleges won’t say “but it’s TJ...”. and accept the student anyway. Especially if you want UVA. [/quote]
