[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sty most kids done with all APs in 10th.  Most only take those on a full schedule across all classes then it is off to IB.  They steal all your Cornell slots. NYU slots. U Chi spots. Williams spots.  Columbia slots.  Wake up! You lost the game not being born in the right city. [/quote]

The kids from the DMV public magnets do pretty well too. Thomas Jefferson has been one of the top 10 feeder HSs for Harvard over the last 15 years. [/quote]

This is verifiable b.s.  TJ sent 6 out of 500 students to Harvard in 2024, barely 1% and hardly impressive when the Harvard admission rate is 4%.  All the NYC top privates send at least 10% to Harvard every year.  polarislist.com[/quote]
You do realize that 4% doesn’t mean 4% from every school?[/quote]

The PP doesn’t understand the definition of feeder school and is confusing numbers and percentages.  TJ is the only DMV area feeder that’s in the top 20 sending students to Harvard per the Crimson article linked above, analyzing data from 2009-2024.  [/quote]
