[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn't a big mystery here. If your kid is in the top 2% of their school, they'll get in. Tj only accepts the very best students from each school. [/quote] How do they know who is the best? 6 Essay questions and 5 of them are some combination of "why I want to go to TJ" "what i did over my summer vacation" and "here is something I do that proves I love stem" and 1 is a math word problem that you don't even have to get correct.[/quote] No one knows. I think there should be more math/science questions and fewer portrait of an FCPS student but what do I know. I think the reality is that there are [b]far more[/b] then 500 kids who could benefit from TJ and defining the best is impossible. There will be kids who don't make it to TJ tat would have been a great fit, it happens every year. [/quote] I don't know about that. The rigor can really do a number on kids if they're not up for it.[/quote]
