[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all of the discussion that is going on about TJ, I am wondering how much of a difference it has made in terms of colleges attended, careers chosen or jobs obtained subsequent to graduation.

I think there is a tendency to assume that graduating from TJ is something of a passport for future success. I am wondering how accurate this assumption is in real life. I am sure that many do very well but I somehow believe that probably the majority fare about as well as they would have even if they did not graduate from TJ but instead one of the other excellent high schools in Northern Virginia.

Would parents who have children who graduated from TJ or posters who know others whose kids graduated from TJ post what their/these kids are doing today?

I think a lot of the discussion regarding TJ's admission policies and selective admission is because there is a belief that graduating from TJ will ensure success for a kid in college and thereafter. Perhaps this is true ........ but maybe this is an incorrect premise.

To those whose children have done very well after graduating from TJ, would he/she have likely done just as well if graduation had been from a regular school?

My husband's college roommate at Williams was a TJ grad. Not sure what he studied undergrad but he ended up going to UVA law school and is a state AAG now.[/quote]
