[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the last time.  There is no advantage of going to TJ for college admissions.  Let me break it down

You stay at base school you are in the top 10% = UVA and crapshoot for Ivies/elite schools
You go to TJ now you are not a big fish in a small pond anymore.  what happens how "good" is your child really.....  And even if you make top 10% TJ Ivies are still a crapshoot

Bottom Line go to TJ if you actually care about STEM and you are willing to have 4+ hours of hw a night and many times much more

Yes, there is an advantage. Certain schools pay no attention to you, even if you have straight A's and 2400 SAT, at some base schools.

For example, at our base school, one of the top HS in the state, one kid, just one, has been admitted to MIT over the last 6 years. At TJ, almost 100 kids have been admitted in that time.
Over the last 2 years at our base school, among Harvard, Yale and Princeton, there's just been one admission. One person's been admitted to Columbia in the last 6 years. Three have gotten into Stanford in that time. Two into Caltach. etc, etc.

And to the other PP, no, 30 kids from TJ didn't go to Cornell last year or any year. 23 was the most, in the 2014.[/quote]
