[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ alum here with kids in “big 3” — both super rigorous; both involve high schoolers with 5-6 hours homework some nights; lots to love about public and private. It is harder to get into TJ than a private in some cases; TJ has amazing arts/ theater grads who have published novels, starred on Broadway, started companies — the difference was lots of TJ were immigrant children like me, and did not even know private schools existed,[b] so much less wealth and more scrappiness[/b] — it is hard to engineer/ recreate the bootstrapping vibe in private school unfortunately. Kids can succeed in both worlds.[/quote] Maybe back in your day. TJ is about 2% FARMs now.[/quote] A family of 4 needs to make less than $50K to qualify for FARMS. It's not just the families who qualify for FARMS who have less income than the majority of families at Big 3's. [/quote]
