[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has Bs in all High school level math classes so far. Do you think he can apply for fresh more next year?[/quote]

Teacher recommendations are the most important thing. My child applied as froshmore after base HS teacher from 9th grade gave this suggestion and offered to write it. Did not take SAT and more than half of the froshmores also did not take SAT.

Getting in is one thing. Being successful there is another. Kids earning Bs in STEM at base school should think long and hard about applying as a froshmore. [/quote]

Froshmores consistently do well at TJ.  The froshmore process should be THE process.[/quote]
Nope. Froshmores struggle since they missout on freshman TJ courses that prep them for harder courses in following years. The real question is, why admit unqualified students as freshmen knowing they end up back at base school? Froshmore admissions should be banned and the number of freshmen returning to base school should be made public. [/quote]

My child is a froshmore as are 14 total that year. The majority of them ended up being in the top 10% and my child is in top 3% by GPA. 11 of the 14 had admits to HYPSM + Caltech.

Most froshmores, including my son found it pretty comfortable. None of the froshmores struggled. They were a tight knit group and used to meet monthly outside of school.

Froshmore process is fantastic in identifying the right children who would thrive at TJ. Unlike the freshman process which is adminstered by the folks at Gatehouse, froshmore is by teachers at TJ.
