[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And PP when they get those As, I bet they are in any college or university they choose. [/quote] Actually that's not true. I know a TJ grad who had all A's except for one B, as well as a nearly perfect SAT score, and she didn't get into any Ivies. She went to UVA.[/quote] Maybe she wanted to go to UVA. [/quote] She got into Duke, Rice, Carnegie Mellon and UVA. Did not get into Harvard (one parent had a Harvard grad degree), Brown, Columbia, Princeton, Penn or UC Berkeley. Participated in 2 varsity sports, plus other extracurriculars. I know all of this because I'm good friends with her mom. [/quote] Maybe she didn't take advanced post AP math or post AP science courses that most top students at TJ take. [/quote]
