[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC has a 4.0 W GPA after junior year. His counselor claims that it places him around 50% percentile compared to other TJ Kids. Does that seem right?

He also said - UVA etc are out of reach for a 4.0 W - but did say that MANY good OOS schools would welcome a student of that profile.

Who knows.   [/quote]

Good luck from another  TJ parent who’s child struggled through freshman (COVID year) and sophomore year. Personally I found the teachers and admin ridiculous. Like DC missed English quiz this week (excused absence). Teacher was pissed and make the makeup quiz impossible. Kids took 50% instead of trying the makeup.

Anyway, was told 2024 class average Weighted gpa is about 4.1. Look through the scattergrams and there is a webpage the kids know about that is from the previous class. It gives a student profile, gpa at time of application, ECs, whether they applied ED,EA or something else. It will also give you some insights.  Make sure to apply to Alabama ($$ for SATs), Pitt, and George Mason.[/quote]
