For one of the wealthiest areas of the country with a school that is supposedly the best of the best I am not impressed with these numbers at all.  Less than 1/3 are going to truly great schools.  Most of these kids could get into UVA or W&M from their base schools.  I think this just shows once and for all there is no magic TJ effect.  You should go there if you are interested in STEM otherwise just stay at your base school.  [/quote]

:lol: It is obvious your child is not in TJ nor could ever hope to get in there.  You do not seem to have an understanding of this process.  Yes, many great students from base schools also get into excellent schools into STEM programs. The reason is because there is a limit in admissions to TJ and other magnet programs.  So the top 2% of students in base schools are getting into good schools too.

What TJ has provided to its students is a whole lot more than what is shown on the transcripts and that is not available in the base schools.  Also,  most TJ students got generous merit aid in these colleges in highly sought after courses. [/quote]
