+1. TJ Class of 2023 had very few MIT acceptances compared to previous years. Class of 2024 did better. We shall see about class of 2025

The way TJ educational standard declines over time, It will eventually none be getting to Stanford, Harvard, and MIT.

I heard admissions were much stronger than in recent years.

Stop all the lying. The same poster has an agenda and is pushing it here.

DP - to clarify - what's the agenda? Is it TJ's admission's quality went down? Or is it TJ's overall quality went down?

Their admissions from places like Stuyvesant and Bergen academies seems about the same.

It's above average.

For the top schools like MIT, the information gets out. I think we will know more tomorrow.

Of the TJ kids that MIT accepted, what are their profiles/stats? Girls? Boys?

The very top students would be the ones with Regeneron or an olympiad qualification. TJ should still have plenty of these. The new admissions process did miss some top tier talent, and it will be very interesting to see whether the olympiad level kids at McLean or Langley get into HYPSM.

The "very top students" got spread around a bit more than in the past. I suspect the big differences in college admissions will be in the bottom half not the top 10%.
