[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is apparently a page on the Korean Embassy website about TJ and its admissions policies, written in Korean. Asian students have outnumbered Caucasian students at TJ for many years now.

Another very interesting article. Thanks for sharing!

It seems prospective students must come from one of 6 local Fairfax middle schools. So you have 6 middle schools in the area preparing students for TJ. They're great schools, tried and true,and they're FREE! Why would I clamor for Basis again????

SN: Given the stress and suicide rates of many of those overly pressured Korean kids from the goose article, I'd never be pressed to throw my DC into such a rat race. If DC were math/science prodigies that would be one thing. But this ridiculous pressure....I realize a lot of its cultural. I'd just prefer happy individuals who enjoy their lives.[/quote]

First of all, the article is from 2011.  Secondly, prospective students must come from six school [b][i]districts[/i][/b]  meaning counties or cities- not middle schools.[/quote]
