[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it might not be worth it. Firstly, unless your kid is a superstar right now (well above public school peers) there are no guarantees your DS will finish strong at TJ given how exceptional the kids are. I had a TJ kid who was a great student in his public school but struggled a lot to stay above middle of the pack at TJ. He got completely shut out from HPSM and Duke. Did get into Cornell and some other good privates but chose UVA. All that stress and extra work to not get a boost at HPSMD was a bit frustrating, especially because he could have gotten into UVA from his public school. But like PPs have mentioned, the work ethic and exposure to real competition that you get from TJ sets kids up well beyond simply where they go to college.[/quote] How do I know if my child (sophomore) is top 25% of their class at TJ? Is yale not a school top TJ kids aspire to? I noticed HPSM, Duke caltech mentioned [/quote]
