[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of TJ senior and here is number I get so far:
3 Harvard
1 or 2 Yale
2 Princeton
4 or 5 MIT (all from REA)
1 S (maybe)
1 Columbia
2 Upenn

The real number maybe higher than this but definitely not much. Worst year in decade.[/quote]

Yes, it's an epic failure. It's a disservice to the wonderful students, the most hardworking, down to earth, and brilliant young people of their age.

The current admins focused on anything but promoting academic excellence.

The infamous lawsuit and disgusting and long-lasting battle among different activist parties put TJ in a bad lighting and impaired its reputation, which had negatively affected the college admission officers' decision making.

The turmoil around the admission changes inevitably affected the morale and mental health of the teachers and students. Many good teachers left. New teachers don't even know the materials they teach. Many good counselors felt less interested in helping students. Many students were left by themselves to navigate the complex college application process.

Sadly, there are more to list. The school just failed its students. Just ask any current senior how they felt about their prom last weekend, not to mention the ridiculous incident. This year is probably the start of the falling of a great school.

I know! These are prestigious schools but most of them are terrible at STEM too which makes me wonder why these kids even went to TJ.[/quote]
