The thing that most impressed my about my child was the response to TJ rejection.

Next day started working on the thing child is most passionate about. Continued working on it whole summer and during school year at base school where there is so much more time.

Come the competition day, child outperformed every single TJ competitor from their grade. This is an activity TJ dominated with at least the top 5 positions every single year for 12 years that I was able to download data on. This is the activity child cares about really really intensely.

Child did not know or care or even follow this ranking. I did.

So do not let a TJ rejection bring down your child's morale.



This is great to hear. TJ isn't everything, and indeed, some of the strongest kids to come out of there can be the kids who apply and are admitted in the Sophomore Round.


The first time they implemented the new woke selection process, the STEM event where TJ had top 5 finishes for 12 consecutive years came to an end.

As an acknowledgement of how bad the new selection process was, child was admitted in sophomore round.

As good a proof as you can get of the new flawed selection process.



I am not aware of any serious competitive STEM events having freshman or sophomores (the batch from new selection process". How do you relate to the new selection process then?



Not sure what this person is talking about, but I am aware of STEM events that had freshman or sophomores from TJ. Look at what the math club does.


Oh Math!. The results (if really dropping and Freshman/Sophomore allowed in team) can be co-related to the JMO kids getting dropped. Assuming 1/2 great kids (with others above average) in the team can make the difference

It seems to be doing better than ever since the new kids are so amazing. Once they were able to filter out the test buyers the quality of student went way up.

1) I assume you’re referring to the State Science Olympiad. It’s true that TJ failed to win it last year, but the number of freshmen who were actually competing in events was negligible.

2) Two years into the new admissions process, they won it going away this year by over 50
points and completely dominated the events. With a fair number of sophomores competing.

Your narrative is trash and you know it.

They mostly want to return to a flawed process that they could easily game.

NP. Too early to point fingers at the new admission process (either for good or bad). SO state team has negligible %ge, and regional has low %ge of 9/10 graders.

Most likely, students of the same (non-Asian) race will replace them. But officially, yes, from the same school until they fulfill each school’s quota.


Why put the first sentence out there if you have no idea at all if it is true?

One of the ways to foster change is to sew grievance with false narratives like this.

You assume wrong for one thing. Not referring to SO at all.

So you whole narrative is trash.
