[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can current TJ parents just answer the question here. [/quote]

What do you want to know?  TJ is tough.  Our DC (Asian) is a senior, went there from a non-feeder MS having never did any of the coding/robotics stuff that most Carson-like school kids do.  No prep.  Freshman year was a shocker.  Struggled a bit but survived intact.  Math is still a shocker (DC is probably more of a "B+ to A-" kid when it comes to math, though).  Don't expect to be spoon-fed at TJ.  Your kid WILL struggle.  Whatever the system of admission, they cannot eliminate all the high-performing Asians from getting in. Period.  Even if that's down to 40%, those kids will be at the top end of the grading curve screwing up everyone else's grade.  Folks need to decide if that's something they want for their kids.  It's not just about being smart.  It's about working hard and competing against kids that have been trained to work hard for many years. most of them at least as smart as your kid.
