<p>That's a good laugh. You dedicate a day to ridicule our consummate eminence and speak of hubris.</p>
<p>Are you on the team?</p>
<p>Are you talking about Exeter Geek day?? I'm pretty sure you guys have an Andover of those too, no? And I'm not sure what hubris is if "consummately eminent" Exeter is a factual term...</p>
<p>Do YOU play football? That would make things interesting...</p>
<p>No, we don't have Andover Geek Day. We have better things to do, like now. </p>
<p>Lets see what happens A-E day. Meanwhile, you can try your hand at the TJ kids, you seem outnumbered.</p>
<p>P.S. I love my fellow human being, but Exeter is better; so don't take it personally.</p>
<p>That would make sense. It's pretty hard to ridicule a school for being laid-back...</p>
<p>And what is TJ? I'll leave that to your friends at USAMO to prove prep school superiority...</p>
<p>P.S. The feeling is reciprocated. Except for the Exeter part. Like I said, the numbers say it all...</p>
<p>My school's def the best in ohio. William Mason High School. its a lot nicer than most private schools. and im not saying it just because its mine. we have like the fastest growing population. Except.. our football team sucks this year cause we're playing all harder teams!</p>
<p>haha, you guys are already getting me pumped for a/e day...</p>
<p>How does TJ rank on a percentage basis in terms of Ivy League placement? I always thought Ransom Everglades in Miami had the highest percentage Ivy League placement (<a href="http://www.RansomEverglades.org%5B/url%5D">www.RansomEverglades.org</a>) in the Southeast.</p>
<p>oh stuyvesant lights my fire =) rahj rah rah</p>
<p>I was invited to Andover. Apparently they thought I was loaded.</p>
<p>Ahhh, gotta love public schools.</p>
<p>i would like to disagree with theoneo's comment about only one magnet school in new jersey worth mentioning... personally i decided not to apply to magnet, because of the extracurricular offerings at the local high school and because of my friends... but i do know at least four great magnet schools in new jersey...</p>
<p>union county vo-tech / magnet / health services
bergen county magnet (or whatever it's called)
high technology (down near holmdel, atlantic highlands)
technology hs (newark-ish)</p>
<p>that said... we also have great private schools as well as public schools withing new jersey...</p>
<p>private/boarding - lawrenceville, pingry, bergan academy</p>
<p>and publics i don't feel like i know enough to actually mention... and because i'm kind of biased towards my little school .... we get something like 6% of kids into ivies and toptier schools like notredame, duke, MIT, UCBerkeley, mcgill... :) and we're like a regional hs :)</p>
<p>haha
"I've always wanted a New Jersey Magnet HS. Right now, besides for AAST (and possibly High Tech HS), all the NJ magnet schools are crap. And other than in math (in which it is the hands-down best HS in NJ), AAST isn't that great; my school has consistently beat it in the sciences. The brightest kids seem to come from the less known but still very good schools.</p>
<p>Also, NJ is insanely competitive. You have all these brilliant uber-motivated kids who all want to get into HYP, and many of the brightest ones come from good schools, but often schools without a big name. In other words, while NJ as a whole has some of the brightest kids, they're diluted over a set of good schools, not concentrated in one insanely great school.</p>
<p>Wouldn't it be great, then, if you put all the kids together into on NJ Magnet High School (maybe call it Alexander Hamilton HS...a nice rival to ol' TJ)? 25% of the graduating class could go to H, 25% to Y, 25% to P, and 25% to S!</p>
<p>But yeah...we'd totally blow Stuy or TJ out of the water.</p>
<p>Jersey pride!"</p>
<p>can i apply?? :) that would amazing. seriously like new jersey just as a lot of smart people in every school. my school isn't amazing... it's just one of the bunch here :D</p>
<p>Montgomery Blair -- takes 100 freshmen per year (out of roughly 11,000 freshmen system-wide) into the magnet program. Has Int'l Olympiad participants in multiple disciplines, teachers who REFUSE to teach to the test (yippee!) and incredible support for those who want to do Intel. (They start R&E freshman year, so by the time they do their projects, they know what they're doing and can document/write up the daylights out of it.)</p>
<p>It is a large, diverse and interesting place, of which the magnet program is a small part (400/2900 students this year). And not only does the magnet program kick serious *&^%, but the school paper and online paper win national awards like there's no tomorrow!</p>
