[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a TJ senior who has a 7th semester GPA over 4.5, top test scores, but not the highest rigor possible. Accepted to T20 (intentionally being vague). Top colleges know the rigor of TJ, and kids can still have great college results even if they don't take the absolute hardest courses. There are TJ kids who get into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford and more without taking AP Physics C or math beyond Calculus. [/quote] Bingo. Believe it or not, those schools are more forgiving of a less-than-perfect academic record if the applicant can give them another great reason to admit them. Some folks call that a "hook"... others just call it "being interesting".[/quote]
