[quote=Anonymous]I think there are some issues...there are clearly people that do everything they can afford to do to get the kids into TJ. I know people prepping the kids for exams, etc. On the other hand, the people I know whose kids are going to TJ did none of this. These are kids that are genuinely really smart, interested in science and tech, and good. The problem with the admissions is that out of a county with 12000 kids in each grade, TJ admits about 400 (the other 80 or so come from other jurisdictions). So, only about 3% of the county are admitted. It is a tough process. In addition, the people who are doing the selection probably are not in the top 3% of society. It is hard for an average person to understand genius.[/quote]
