[quote=Anonymous][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]

You must be at a shitty school like George Mason, which TJ students wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole anyway.[/quote]

Don’t be snarky. TJ kids apply because it’s on the list of absolute in state, not matter how badly you did safeties (VCU, Pitt, GMU, JMU are the biggies on the guidance counselors list).  They are also presumed admits unless there is something like a disciplinary issue.

And GMU has a decent CS program with good placement. [/quote]
