[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I also went to TJ and currently have a first year in college and a sophomore in high school (neither of whom went to TJ). My concern with your child is the lack of self-motivation as that’s probably the #1 trait I’d attribute to success at TJ. [/quote] NP. Thanks for this. DC has applied and gotten in but he's certainly not one of the "top students". He's self-motivated in that he has taught himself a lot of things outside of school but finds most of his classes pretty boring and doesn't put much effort in them. Is TJ the right fit for him? Is any high school? [/quote] I didn't go to TJ - I'm the OP that went to MIT. I wasn't the smartest kid at my high school, but I worked my a$$ off and was successful because I was more driven, won awards, etc.[/quote]
