Phillips Exeter Academy is better than TJSST. TJSST is a great school, but it cannot compare to the nations top prep schools.

@88icey i completely understand that some people are not able to handle the pressure the TJ causes (i'm a current student) but at the same time, the school was founded to be tough and generate the future's scientists. Still, i'm sure your sisters did great wherever they ended up, because i definitely know that TJ is not right for everyone

@snotberg123 yes pressure is needed but not till the point where people commit suicide need anti depressants and people who don't even wan to go are forced by their parents. My sister was on the breaking point and had to get mental help about a month ago because it was too much. She told me going to TJ was the worst thing shed ever done and told me not to go to TJ. She told me about how you could just tell in the hallways who had just given up. That is just too much

@88icey ...dude pressure is needed; Thomas Jefferson High attempts to weed out the best and brightest of the population and if the people can't handle it then they can't handle it...I mean that's the entire point; it's the same for schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, CalTech, etc; I really wanted to go and see if I could do it but I don't even live in the state though my cousin lives really close (he didn't get in)

The thing is there is too much pressure for kids to get into TJ. I am a seventh grader currently but i have 2 sisters who both went to TJ. Every night for the first month at TJ they both broke down crying due to too much pressure. Kids have commited suicide due to the pressure and my sister breaks down everyday due to the pressure. Sevral kids are anti depressants. TJ has become a litte too much and so many peoples parents wont give them any other choice but TJ.
