[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I no longer live in DC and feel confident that TJ means nothing in my current big city (bigger than DC).  I did interview someone on her 40s that still had a DC "big 3" school on her résumé
  That seemed laughable.   Many of the  opinions on boarding school here are outdated and uninformed.  The very top schools have massive aid budgets and pull from the whole country as well as some of the most ambitious and prepared kids the the world and have endowments nearing a billion dollars.   Not a fair fight.[/quote]

I agree that a top boarding school is a different world than TJ. But for a public school its Ivy acceptance is VERY high. There are other magnets in other cities that are comparable. Its new world and being tech savvy is a big plus.[/quote]

Unfortunately for the strength of its student body, its Ivy acceptance is below par.[/quote]

Actually it's ivy acceptance is excellent.  TJ is a STEM school so many go to technical universities like MIT. [/quote]
