[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should also stop the insanity, shenanigans, and pressure around trying to get into those "elite" high schools...LOL

Now kids will hopefully stay at their local neighborhood schools...and all of the schools will get better as opposed to the brain drain...[/quote]

Right. People won’t go for TJ because it might change their adversity number. /s

Keep dreaming.  TJ kids are known as TJ kids whether their “number” is high or not. [/quote]

I worked in college admissions...the people doing the first cut, are work study students...they don't know TJ, from Springfield to WestPo...locally it's a big deal, nationally, hell regionally outside of VA, no one gives a shit...[/quote]

Where do you work?  Because instate VA says they batch TJ separately and review together.  I talked to the regional dean for WM who reviews every TJ application and was saying that they had seen a downturn in math grades since since TJ changed their math tracking to semesters. They know it on a granular level.

My kid has been interviewing for college and everyone interviewing him has discussed the school with him.

God knows the Ivy’s are literally in litigation that involves reviewing TJ students applications, along with 3-4 other schools.

Any school TJ kids want to go flags the app in some way. They certainly do not all get in.  But they don’t get dumped by work students students.

And maybe some large State midrange college does it this way and doesn’t care. But TJ kids aren’t applying anyway.
