An Awesome Year for A Public High School!

<p>Here is their public Link:

<p>13 for Harvard, 20 Princeton, 13 MIT, 35 Duke...
and it is still not completed.</p>

<p>I can't believe they put the rejections up there too.</p>

<p>every year is like that for tj.</p>

<p>are they truly a "public" school? They have an admissions process- doesn't that make them a "public magnet" school? - Therefore, those kind of admissions are expected because they choose the kids that go to their high school. (And of course they choose the smartest ones :)! )A real public high school has to allow everyone from the surrouding community to go there. IF a real public high school had those kind of admit stats.. I would be shocked!!</p>

<p>Jesus christ, that school is the Harvard of high schools</p>

<p>I guess they put in their own information...why advertise rejections, don't get, but whatever</p>

<p>strange site</p>

<p>and for a PUBLIC school to charge 90dollars to apply, its not EXACTLY your average HS</p>

<p>Thomas Jefferson is one of the best high schools in the nation. This year i think like 15 of their students made USAMO. They have their own ARML team(s?). Definitely not your run of the mill high school :)</p>

<p>what's the purpose of making that site? I don't get it.</p>

<p>Thomas Jefferson is a selective magnet school. You have to get a high score on a test to get in. So its results shouldn't be compared with those of standard public high schools.</p>

<p>my school provides a site that provides detailed scores of people who got into or rejected from a college but no names.. so now I know that since my school deflates a bit someone with an 89 got into G-Town from my school etc</p>

<p>only 4 into Yale.</p>

<p>what is up with Yale this year?</p>

<p>omg that schoolss redunkulous...avg gpa...avg sat...wow</p>

<p>How's their football team?</p>

<p>bobbobbob: Actually, 7. I think you missed the bottom 3.</p>

<p>TourGuide446: They used to suck, and will probably suck again, but this year they got to playoffs. So they don't suck right now. We own a lot of the other sports, though.</p>

<p>I go to TJ. It's great to see so many kids getting in to the schools they want to go to, but it sucks to be me. I'm sitting on a 3.85 W GPA and I know that I can't really compete for most top-tier schools, since so many kids from TJ have over a 4.0. Stanford, since they don't look at freshman grades, will probably see a flat 4.0 W, but nobody got in this year with below a 4.04.</p>

<p>It doesn't help that our grading scale is a bit harder than some others. APs give you an extra .5 to the year grade.
4.0 is 93.5-100
3.5 is 89.5-93.5</p>

<p>"+4YearsOfYamoah" got into UVA. Ridiculous.</p>

<p>People with mathematical symbols as part of their name are underrepresented minorities. My cousin John=Sm%th got into Columbia with a 3.1 gpa.</p>

<p>How the hell did some of those people get into some of those schools with such bad ECs, test scores etc?</p>

<p>Maybe I am reading them wrong because its late but I think I read them correctly.</p>

<p>Read what?</p>

<p>UVA is known for being very leniant with admissions from TJ. In most cases, a GPA of 3.7W or better is enough.</p>

<p>Wow. And I thought I went to a good high school...</p>
