[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a special TJ  bonus ... college admissions offices (especially in Virginia) know about the school and respond accordingly, with admissions offers and financial aid.  This is because TJ kids graduate with all honors academic courses (including extra mandatory humanities credits, not just STEM credits), plus about 5 AP classes that are part of the basic required curriculum, several more AP credits, post AP classes, and a major senior research project or mentorship.

I wonder if that means they know about the cheaters at the school?  [/quote]

No, they don't. If they did, the list will look nothing like OP posted. God knows there are many... [/quote]

I know, right!  99% AP pass rate. Highest average SATs in the country. All those NMSFs and Intel semifinalists.  National winners in every academic extracurricular you can think of. State athletic title winners. A student who is a finalist in swimming for the USA Olympic team.  Just goes to show ismart kids to pull cheating off cheating on a massive scale.  :roll:   [b]Haters gonna hate...[/b][/quote]

Just like cheaters will cheat... [/quote]

That's quit a snappy response that really responds to the substance of the post. Kinda see why your kids did not get into TJ. [/quote]

Not the PP.  And certainly don't want to take away from the many accomplished students at TJ.  The school has quite a collection of talented kids as the college list indicates.

That said, there is a cheating problem at TJ despite all that intelligence.  Acing standardized tests and acing all the required academics are two different things.  Whether the school is dealing with it or not there has been an unfortunate amount of cheating and plagiarizing at the school.   And there have been TJ students kicked out of college for those same things.  The pressure to succeed on paper is too great for some, apparently.  [/quote]

Is this "everyone knows"?  "I think"?  "I assume"? "I'm making random shit up"?  Or do you have actually know something?  [/quote]
