[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]good luck with that. There are families that literally move mm and kids from Korea to Virginia for TJ while Dad stays back to work. The kids cram for the TJ admission test for many hours a day for YEARS. There are special tutors. Your typical bright white rich kid at Brent is unlikely to make it.[/quote] TJ isn't even straight test in anymore and now is holistic (read: discriminating in favor of all non-Asians, even white). I easily tested into the NYC version of TJ. My kid is at least as smart as me (and a more diligent student), TJ is actually statistically easier to get into than the NYC version (smaller catchment, bigger class) and I am way more clued in than my parents were in terms of prep. I actually think 50% of the high SES Brent kids would test into TJ with limited prep (5-10 hours of test familiarity type stuff); probably 75% with concerted effort. [/quote]
