Keep telling your self that while TJ kids continue with the best college admissions results in the country.[/quote]

That's because of the quality of the students, not the high school itself.  If those kids had all stayed at their base schools and you posted admission information for them, the results would probably be just as good if not better. [/quote]

Would you say the same thing to a smart STEM kid who got into Caltech to go to GMU instead of Caltech since you may have a higher chance of getting into a better grad school from GMU with likely higher gpa?[/quote]

Number of TJ grads going to Caltech:  1[/quote]

Misleading.  
26 applied
4 admitted (15% admit rate from TJ vs 9% overall admit rate).

Vs the other top STEM schools (MIT, CMU, Berkeley, GT, UCIC), Cal Tech has a lot less TJ interest, and a fraction of the TJ applicants.

For example, Berkeley. Also a UC.  Only one position different in engineering rankings.  97 applied, 34 admitted, 11 attending.

No idea what the difference is. [/quote]

Caltech is not a UC.[/quote]

Also, it's UIUC NOT UCIC or UICU. You should take your med before posting anything further. Remember, it's UIUC.[/quote]
