[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont colleges know that a 4.0 (w) from TJ is equivalent to a 4.5 or so from a non -TJ HS?[/quote]

Maybe at UVA, but some young admissions assistant in another state won't necessarily know. [/quote]

If you don’t know what TJ (and Stuyvesant, and Bronx Science, and Masterman, and so on) is/are, you are not making decisions in a college admissions office of any significance.[/quote]

If you go over to the private school forum, they think all their schools are extra special too. I made the comment because another TJ parent found some of the big California universities didn't seem to know much about the rigor of TJ's curriculum. Some international universities we visited didn't know TJ from Podunk High.

I bet the CA admissions people know all about Lowell, Whitney and Harvard Westlake though.[/quote]

I was actually surprised at how many people in other states seem to know about TJ. People from California, Illinois, Texas and New Jersey knew about the school.
