[quote=Anonymous]I have no connection to TJ at all.  None.  It sure looks like an impressive list to me.  There are plenty of kids going to top STEM schools, which is TJ’s focus, and they’re being smart in their choices.   Purdue, Michigan, Maryland etc.

You’re also not taking into account the increased economic diversity in the school that I have to assume is one of the results of the new admissions policy.  Kids with less money are more likely to take the money and run, presumably turning down higher ranked schools in the process.   I see a kid going to VCU for its guaranteed medical school admissions program under a presidential scholarship for example — you have to assume he had other very good options.

I’m impressed with the kid who is going to Grinnell to play baseball and major in philosophy. That’s an interesting choice for a TJ grad!

The lesson here is to get out of your bubble.  You don’t know the circumstances of any of these kids — nor do you know what schools they turned down or their reasons.  [/quote]
