[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school tells people not to go there if you want to go to top schools, [b]there is too much competition.[/b] If you really want 0ne of the top 25 schools, go to your base school. I have an 8th grader applying for TJ and we have discussed this with him. It will come up again if he is accepted at TJ. [/quote] +1 agree. Even after all the selection changes (including over years). The top 20% (~100 students) will be very competitive and they will be taking over the limited slots at the T20/T30's. If you are not in top 20% the chances of getting to top colleges are lower from TJ.[/quote] The 50th percentile at TJ might get into UVA. The same student will be top 5% or higher at their base school and will likely get into UVA[/quote] My fav TJ-parent belief: my kid would have been top x% had kid gone to the base school. Never change, please!! ❤️[/quote]
