[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, Planning ahead for DS. We understand that a big advantage of TJ is simply the peer group and great teachers. However, for college admissions we are wondering if sticking out and graduating high in the base HS is better than going to TJ and risking being in the middle of the pack. I recognize admissions for TJ are also different now and getting in is never guaranteed anyways.[/quote]If your student is at the international olympiad level, then keep him at his base school where there is less of a time commitment from homework. If your student is excellent enough that get an UW 4.0 with max APs would be under-representative of their ability, send them to TJ. If you don't think they can be in the top 5-10% at TJ, keep them at the home school. And read "who gets in and why" and "how to be a high school superstar" and listen to the YCBK podcast. Hope this helps.[/quote]
