Recent publication of TJ Partnership Fund featured an '05 grad who received a BA and MD from Harvard and a Fulbright Scholarship, during which she earned a Master's in Public Health. She teaches and directed a film that won awards at Sundance and Berlin International Film Festival this year. She's also a mom. In the article, she is quoted as saying TJ taught her to think outside the box and creatively. She is thankful that TJ set her up to cobble together a career that married art and science, while prioritizing social impact.

Another featured '09 grad has a Rhodes scholarship to pursue a degree in computational biology at Oxford (after earning BS in Physics and Masters in Computer Science from Stanford). Her research will emphasize using statistical analysis to improve cancer screening and treatment.

Another has figured out a new way to detect Lyme disease

And some of the grads come back to teach in Fairfax County schools - not such a bad thing either.

Point is they are not drones looking only for a computer programming job.

TJ places well every year. It's really remarkable that they haven't produced more notable alums. Has anyone looked into why there aren't more success stories!

This is ridiculous. The general public (even highly educated members) doesn't really know that many scientists or engineers (or other highly technical fields), but that doesn't mean they aren't doing groundbreaking research. How many nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, and medicine can your average, say, Big Law partner name? If you are not a biologist or chemist how many HHMI scientists can you name off the top of your head?

Oh and some pass up Stanford for Princeton. And some for UVA's instate tuition.

Some pass up Stanford for William & Mary.

I wish I had excel to quickly calculate the yield %s.

Those who enrolled in Harvard or Yale?

Some TJ students are checking the box more than one time, so it makes the stats hard to figure out. that is 8 accepts to tops schools, 8 check accept.

Michigan certainly is the safety school of choice.

I wish I knew how to read that chart.

You didn't attend TJ

Graduating class is usually about 440.

Lots of grads. How many in each class?
