New parents - If ur kid is truly not exceptional in math and sciences, reconsider TJ.

TJ math is brutal. So are physics and chemistry.

An underprepared kid will land up with half a dozen Bs at TJ vs all As at base school.

And make sure ur kid wants to go to TJ - don’t force them!

Good luck!

Have you considered that some kids might be happy to work hard for their Bs at a school with a lot of motivated peers? There is nothing wrong with a well earned B. There will be plenty of colleges that those kids can apply to and receive an excellent eduation at. [/quote]

Which world are you living in????

UVA requires near perfect grades. Bs will tank your chances at most target schools.

No one likes to suffer TJ math and land with a B.

The bottom 25% at TJ ( weighted gpa below 4.0) surely would be better off at base school and yes they would be much happier there as their efforts would have resulted in better grades also.

I don’t know of a single TJ kid who happily accepts a B[/quote]
