[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Five pages on this topic and not one person has pointed out the extracurriculars do not matter for TJ admissions. Please look at the new rules and educate yourself. Your kid could win the Nobel prize for physics and it will not increase their chance for admittance. Top 1.5% at your kids school are automatic. Then a small added boost if you are an economically underpriveiedged kid. Your kid also needs a 3.5 GPA and needs to pass an easy admissions test and write an essay. Then they are basically pulling names out of a hat. Prepping and extracurriculars mean nothing now.[/quote] Except if you win SO or Mathcounts you're totally in.[/quote] I heard that Mr. H. who heads up the Mathcounts is leaving at the end of this year. He is one of the best math teachers in the county. So glad my DC had a chance to be in one of his classes. [/quote]
