[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If these same kids stayed at their base schools, they’d be going to the same colleges. [/quote] Maybe. Maybe not. They are getting much harder math, plus senior lab pre-recs. And doing a senior research lab. My kid is taking prototyping 1 & 2 and specialized CAD and doing engineering design. A lot of his friends do 4semesters of Post-AP CS and then do Computer Systems research or Mobile and Web App Development research. Most kids also do a mentorship the summer between 11 and 12. These help kids with admission to top STEM programs, and especially with getting scholarships. [/quote] Scholarships sound good. So the idea of TJ then is to get into better colleges and get scholarships? Are UVA and W&M considered top STEM programs? No, not at all. As you have stated they are mere “backups” for TJ kids. So why are so many TJ grads going to schools that aren’t top STEM programs? [/quote]
