[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a genius, had a 4.0 at base school and is a mix of Bs and As at TJ. Almost failed Spanish. So, no, it's not easy to be the top at TJ at all.[/quote] What colleges do these kids go to that get the Bs and As? Aren’t they the ones that go to UVA? If so, then to me same result for these A/B at TJ kids as if they had gone to base because base schools send so few to Ivy. Many on here post about better to stay at base if want to go ivy, but everyone seems to be banking on their kid staying and being #1, but even if #1 at base, base schools send SO few to ivy and at least in past 30-40 going from TJ. Even more so if thought is if get A and Bs at TJ don’t get ivys, but do get but UVA, then seems even more no brainer to go to TJ. Didn’t 50 kids actually GO to UVA from TJ last year so even more accepted that didn’t go? And then if other 30-40 went to ivy schools (who likely all had offers at UVa as a backup)- to me that seems much much better odds for colleges being TJ. Does this year’s data show that’s wrong conclusion now?[/quote]
