| How To Get Into Tag Dallas |
Step 1: You Gotta Have the Goods (But Not the Smug Goods)
The Academic Gauntlet
- Grades: B+ ain't gonna cut it here, folks. You'll need an 80% average or higher in your core subjects (think English, math, science, and social studies) to even be considered.
- Test Scores: Dust off your #2 pencils! You'll need to score in the 70th percentile on standardized tests like STAAR or MAP. Basically, you gotta prove you can dodge metaphorical pencils and ace those multiple-choice challenges.
But Wait, There's More!
Just being a bookworm isn't enough. TAG Dallas wants well-rounded ninjas. Be prepared to show off your critical thinking skills in an interview and psychometric test. Think of it as your chance to unleash your inner Sherlock Holmes and impress the admissions crew with your mental agility.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Word to the Wise: Don't walk in there with an "I'm-too-smart-for-this" attitude. Humility and a genuine love of learning go a long way.
Step 2: Patience is a Virtue (Especially When Dealing with Paperwork)
The Application Labyrinth
There's a reason they call it applying. You'll need to navigate a maze of forms, deadlines, and possibly even parental signatures (yikes!). Keep an eye on the Dallas ISD website for application windows. These things close faster than a free pizza box near a hungry teenager.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
Pro Tip: Don't wait until the last minute to channel your inner Usain Bolt. Get those applications in early to avoid the application-induced panic attacks.

Step 3: Embrace the Unknown (But Not Literally, That's Just Weird)
The Waiting Game: A Trial by Fire (or Maybe Just Boredom)
Once you've submitted your application, it's time to play the waiting game. This can feel like an eternity, especially when you're surrounded by textbooks and the only adventure is highlighting your notes in a particularly artistic way. Distract yourself with brain teasers or epic coding projects. Who knows, you might invent the next fidget spinner while you wait.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Remember: Even ninjas need patience. Trust the process (and maybe do some light meditation to avoid freaking out).
Bonus Round: Owning Your Inner Genius (Without Becoming a Walking Stereotype)
Being Smart is Cool (But Being a Jerk is Not)
Congratulations! You made it into TAG Dallas! Now, before you start practicing your monologues for the debate team, remember: being smart is awesome, but being a know-it-all is not. Use your brainpower to collaborate, not to crush.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Embrace the Journey:
TAG Dallas is a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and be challenged. Embrace the journey, make awesome friends, and remember: the coolest ninjas are the ones who use their skills to make the world a better place. So, go forth, young Padawan, and conquer the world (or at least get an A+ on your next history project).
