[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: My DD is quite good at most things. She has a passion for stem, is at the right track for math, and is quite creative with her essays. She did a TYE stem bootcamp, and is taking the AMC8 along with mathcounts. Our biggest disadvantage is that she is at Franklin MS. People there aren't really as academically bright as Carson (obviously) so our biggest worry is if she will get the right resources at Franklin to get into TJ. People have also been studying for this school for a while now. We just found out about the competition this year. Will she have enough time? [/quote]
Wow. “Aren’t as academically bright.” 
I’ve now lost any will to help you because you’re so rude. Based on this post, you also still clearly don’t understand the admissions process despite many attempts to explain it to you. I presume you’re also the same poster asking about Algebra 2 at FMS. It took me 15 seconds to find that online. [/quote]
Well, its not like as many kids go to TJ from Franklin as Carson... I would be lying if I said Franklin had as many opportunities as Carson did. I would be glad if you proved me wrong though. Because from many of these posts, it sounds like Carson kids have the main advantage here...[/quote]

I disagree that kids at Franklin don't have as many opportunities as kids at Carson. As a parent who sent children through both Carson and Franklin (AAP at both), I can tell you that the instruction at Franklin was superior to what our child at Carson received. [u]Far[/u] superior. At Franklin, there was more rigor, opportunities for critical thinking, cross-curricular projects, and detailed feedback on assignments. [/quote]
That's great to hear! May I ask if either your kid at Carson or Franklin went to TJ? OP here btw.[/quote]

Neither chose TJ (they went to Oakton instead), though one did apply and was accepted to TJ. In high school, my child who attended Franklin was better prepared for the writing- intensive coursework. They were equally prepared for math and biology. [/quote]
