60%+ were from TJ. Look at other metrics from science, math, and other subjects, the vast majority were from TJ.





17 of 27 is the stats of class 2024, when TJ admission policy hasn't changed.
The class 2025 is when TJ changed the admission policy and National Merit Finalist data hasn't aggregated and released yet. But for the semifinalist number TJ has a huge plunge.
