[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone got tips for how you even get into TJ? Like essay structure and stuff, and if we should do prepping?[/quote]
Do outside prepping only if AAP is too easy for your student.  Just AAP by itself is not enough to excel with TJ rigor.

Do not worry about essay, it's mainly used to screen the lowest level math students, they apparently need to build a diverse class.

For others, it's pretty much a lottery. [/quote]

A lottery who catches all the Science Olympiad winner team, math olymp winner, debate winner, quiz bowl winner, a big chunk of Algebra 2 kids (not all), some Pre-Cal students, some well known high achiever kids, including the kids with impressive music talent... and etc, and all of them mostly A students who took all honors class.

Its a beautiful lottery.

Though, there are some odds they catch some small fishes, those small fish some back to their pond, some stay and turn out OK.
And there is also a chance applying as sophomore.   [/quote]

My son is in Algebra 2, two science Olympiad gold medals this year, all As and one B+,  section lead in highest level orchestra , all honors, and …waitlisted. No they don’t catch the very brightest. [/quote]
