GMU is a fine school but I think we have a lot more GMU than in the past. Is this a money thing or academic thing?


It could be both and nothing wrong with it. This year grad has some low income families.
GMU is a good school, you can stay with parents. You can save alot of money.
And really, not all families think that undergrad school is worth $250k!


$250k would be cheap. Try over $400k.

This year lots of going to Purdue, maybe record breaking numbers.
It is a great news.
Purdue is highly regarded STEM college. Their graduate is well respected.

I think the sarcasm is coming from the fact that Tj grads mostly land on their feet college-wise but it may not look that way if you just read off the names of the schools.
For example, Perdue is a perfectly fine school, ranked top 50 in the country but noone from TJ is going there to study sociology, they are going to there for STEM and they are top 10 in the nation in STEM
Same for a lot of other schools that don't rhyme with parvard, kale, cranford, minceton, cal-heck, or phlegm hi pee.

The point of TJ is to learn how to drink from a firehose without drowning.


It’s Purdue. Lol


Why, what's wrong with perdue, especially their engineering?


I am sure Perdue does its share of engineering the chicken, so this statement still holds true 😁

This year, more than half of the students admitted by TJ from DS middle school, one of the feeders, are not STEM strong kids. Among them, there are quite a few kids strong in writing and communication.
