I guess your kid did not have good breakfast that day. So sorry! |
Your smart kid is not struggling. Why do you care about other kids? No one ask you to do so. |
WELL SAID |
So no to testing and yes to diversity? Why couldn't they revamp the test(s), because there were two other tests that no one ever mentions, but then also allow for experience factor points. Hypothetically a kid with a 90 average on tests but experience factors would show strong academic competency and diversity vs what appears to be random right now. Among all groups, including URMs, there are simply smarter kids, that this process currently doesn't identify. They went with the most expedient solution to meet their social engineering "wins" vs what made sense but took hard work. |
Why do you respond to your own post, unless of course the post is insincere? |
Admission change is so good, then TJ dropped to 14th? What do you expect? Stay in top 1? |
The data used was for the class of 2022. Not the new admissions classes. |
And yet people were able to buy access to the test questions making it a completely useless metric. |
Nah, it was because of the cheating for selection that it dropped. These rankings are a few years behind. |
There plenty of tests they can consider for this which are measured in the form of grades. That's what school is all about. No point in making up some silly test that rich people can buy. |
Of course, people want to celebrate it more next year and years after when TJ's ranking will be 30+ and over. |
Good question and I don't know. They clearly want a less informed admissions process than a more informed one. They can always incorporate experience factors into test scores and teachers' recommendations. At my kid's school, they left out a African American kid who has advanced math courses and STEM awards but took some white kids who are layback and don't even care of TJ. But, well we have a "holistic" admissions process now LOL |
He had a 4.0? They do look at GPA. |
Seems like a flaw in the rankings if the admission criteria makes a school fall in the rankings. The caliber of the school should be based on how they educated the students they had, not how well they selected the incoming students. |
Not sure if it’s 4.0 may have some A-, should be very close. But, his grades are for sure better than those white kids. It’s funny that they bring back all test scores and teachers’ recommendations in sophomore admissions. |
