[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It'll be fine. If he wants to stay at TJ let him stay. If he doesn't that's another story. [/quote]

He would prefer to stay but wants to get into the best college he can.[/quote]

We need a GPA.  Round it to the nearest 10th and it won't be identifying.

In all likelihood, he is probably locked out of top schools no matter what.[/quote]

Let's be clear, with <4% acceptance rates everyone is locked out of top schools. It's a lottery even with a "perfect" profile. I say this as a MIT alum[/quote]

But the tippy top students at TJ or Blair magnet have a good chance.[/quote]

They have a good chance but it's a tiny group who have been programmed for MIT since elementary school. These schools are a repeat of TJ for another four years which most students don't want and that's perfectly fine. [/quote]

What does this have to do with anything?

That PP shared that, according to TJ’s data, if you have a 4.6 GPA there plus 1570 SAT, then your chance of getting into Harvard is x% (a lot higher than the general population), which I believe. And I further made the point that a typical tippy top TJ kid has a good chance of getting into MIT. The same can absolutely NOT be said about my son’s half-a$$ed private high school.[/quote]
