[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pretty impressive list this year (even to hardcore anti-TJ'ers).  I believe these are matriculants, not admittees. Here is a partial list:

Berkley 8
Chicago 8
Columbia 2
Cornell 13
Duke 4
Harvard 5
MIT 7
Michigan 14
Penn 3
Princeton 4
Stanford 3
Washington University (St. Louis) 4
Williams 2
Yale 5[/quote]

Still unimpressed the number one question remains if these kids would have remained at their base schools what would happened

I would argue for most at TJ they would have gotten better results from base schools

Even with this top 25% or so list[/quote]

Tufts
CMU (Engineering/CS)
Grinnell
UICU
GA Tech

And as a TJ parent, I know my kids long term results would not have been as good out of a base school. TJ sends kids to College— be it Harvard or UVA who are over prepared and find college easy after TJ. On some campuses, including UVA, TJ kids have the #1 GPA out of all US school with at least 10 kids on campus. Even if my kid could have gotten into the exact same college out of a base school, my kid will do better in college than they would out of a base school. That counts for a lot for kids who will likely continue past undergrad.

All you have experience is TJ.  Again my argument is your kid would have had a similar experience in a top section at their base schools

P.S. in the real world no one cares about GPA[/quote]
