[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem I have with TJ is that it was created to be a STEM focused HS, not just a really competitive HS with extremely challenging curriculum. Instead, it was supposed to be a place where the science and/or math focused kids could learn the math in more detail with more in-depth resources. What killed TJ was they did a bad job on admissions: they went for the best scores rather than the kids that would most benefit from the school. As a result, TJ has no impact on colleges unless you re in the top 10-20%. Because being in the top 10-20% from TJ is special. It is much harder to stand out at TJ than any other school, and that will be noted. For those kids, they are much more likely to get into elite schools that the top 3% at a regular school[/quote] Untrue. The opposite is true.[/quote]
