[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD with GPA 4.52 (Junior year), 1580 SAT, all 5s in all her 8 APs from TJ with excellent ECs for CS, volunteering/community service and an internship did not get into any of the Ivies and waitlisted at CMU. Major - CS. Obviously we are disappointed. College admissions seems like a lottery. [/quote]

That's tough, should have stayed at the base school

Folks, it's obvious now TJ is a net negative on college admissions, there are [b]too many folks with very similar profiles[/b].[/quote]

TJ has been a net negative for a long time, but parent who needed bragging rights to say their kids got into TJ just couldn't see beyond that need. DC's friend early on said she wanted to be a lawyer (of course who knows what she will end up really doing) but her parents insisted that she should go to TJ. She got into TJ and now regrets it after seeing where top students at the base school got in versus where she got in. But for the rest of her life her parents can say she went to TJ.[/quote]
