[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a TJ kid goes to VT and a non TJ kid goes to MIT, is the latter more prepared for grad school? [/quote]

MIT and Caltech have always been the lone two exceptions to the fairly ironclad rule that "TJ is *way* easier than undergrad".

Substitute Princeton for MIT and the answer is almost definitely "the TJ kid is more prepared".[/quote]

Princeton is also considered pretty high rigor without grade inflation.[/quote]

Fine, but TJ students report that TJ is more challenging than Princeton, or any other Ivy for that matter. The two exceptions are MIT and Caltech and that's it.[/quote]

Do they now? How many? It would need to have four things happen for your statement to be remotely considered:

- kids graduated from tj
- kids attend an ivy 
- the “kids” referenced above are a large enough number to be considered reliable (not a handful of kids)- many from each individual school
- the “kid” referenced above all reported their academic comparison to the above poster

Having A former TJ grad here or there tell A former TJ classmate something is not what helps evaluate if something is true. My guess is the prior poster asked 1 person “how does it compare to TJ’s rigor” and the kid mumbled back something which the poster took as gospel.

This is the fake TJ stuff that waters down TJ’s appearance in the eyes of others. [/quote]
