[quote=Anonymous]Look. You are pretty clearly aiming for a certain type of answer by posting in P & I schools. You want posters who think private school is worth any cost. If you post in VA public schools or General Education or AAP, you will get a much different sampling of answers (like why would I not send my STEM kid to the best STEM school in the nation for free, and I do not want to let my high school freshman leave home).

TJ and top BSs get very different applicants with different priorities, and comparing them to find the "best" is apples and oranges. If you have a kid at a TJ and/or top BS level, then you go with their needs and the needs of your family.  They are looking for different things in their applicant, and I doubt many TJ kids are well rounded enough for a top BS, or the top BS kids have the STEM chops to be admitted to TJ.  Sure there are exception. But they are exceptions.

But at least own the fact that by posting in this forum, you are not getting a true sample. Just like posting in VA PS or AAP would give you a sample strongly skewed toward TJ being better. [/quote]
