I wonder who would want to packge their kid strating at age by, for example, making them take the SAT at 11. What the heck for?
And writing a 35 page research paper (with endnotes and annottions)?  I am convinced more than ever these kids can have TJ.  
If TJ is for these types of kids they can have it.[/quote]

Evidently TJ isn't for those types of kids since he didn't get in.  8)

TJ changed the student information sheet that applicants complete a couple of years ago. It used to be that applicants just listed various activities and achievements, but now the applicants answer 8 short essay questions such as "What is your best subject in school and why?" and "What one thing about yourself do you believe would make the biggest contribution to the community of learners at TJHSST?" This is the opportunity to brag about your accomplishments. but you have to figure out a way to fit that in while answering these questions. TJ is looking for something more than a laundry list of accomplishments - they also want a bit of self-reflection and that can be difficult for anyone, and especially for a child who's only 13. You can see the student information sheet here - http://www.tjhsst.edu/abouttj/admissions/docs/studinfo2015-final.pdf
