[quote=Anonymous]TJ kids frequently say that college felt easy for them compared to many peers there. In other words, they felt extremely well-prepared, less stressed in the weed-out engineering classes, etc. Met prerequisites for higher level college classes more easily. And the TJ networking thing is real; TJ alums definitely post on alumni sites about job opportunities, connections. Also, TJ students are not all socially awkward— what they have going for them is the ability to form connections with both awkward introverts and cool kids. (TJ kids become very tolerant of quirkiness even if not quirky themselves. This is a good skill to have in life and in many workplaces. Yes, getting into UVA, UMich, UNC will be harder and some safeties will reject TJ kids to protect their yield. But many TJ kids will get into top 10, 20, Ivies, etc. I also think TJ gets more in through regular decision…once the dust settles most TJ kids have gotten into top schools. [/quote]
