[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well, how is this different from the top colleges whose admission rate is even lower than TJ’s? Families also hire expensive counselors and build a specific profile: kids volunteer, start nonprofits, participate in other activities they don’t care about, take SAT prep classes - only to make a presentable college application. Furthermore, most of the top colleges value legacy - at least TJ doesn’t admit kids only because their parents attended TJ. Does it mean that the top colleges also do more harm than good and should be eliminated?[/quote] Top colleges are privately run and can do whatever they want. They're under no obligation to serve any particular groups. TJ is a public school funded by taxpayers and intended to serve FCPS students as a whole. If it's not effectively doing that, then there is a problem. [/quote]
