This has been my experience as well.

I'm sure there are jerks but the social structure doesn't really encourage or even tolerate that sort of behavior very well.  These are not generally the kids engaged in social jockeying at your base schools.  They are pretty focused on academics and if they weren't before they got there they become focused in order to survive.

The social aspect of TJ is extremely subdued.  Everybody is from different neighborhood and everybody is academically focused.  There are a lot of negative aspects to TJ but "braggy" arrogant freshman is not one of them, TJ is a pretty humbling place for almost all the students.

+1.  After going to TJ my rising sophomore is more grounded than ever. You cannot flatter or even praise is met with skepticism.
Social skills meaning self promoting and other tricks there’s time they’ll learn all that. These are smart kids there’s time for thst god bless. They worked so hard all of them. DC got As and A-s. She’s not even that brilliant but has Potential and not underprepared for math rigor. [/quote]
