Curie has multiple locations as well as online classes. They dont publish counts but likely few hundreds. |
The test is not very hard anymore. Maybe they will go out of business |
One year they had over 100 admits to TJ so obviously that many. But could the number be close to 1000 8th graders? |
out of business? are you nuts? all their classes are full. |
The numbers are up there, but evenly distributed across grades. There is a fool here that keeps spreading lies, and inadvertently draws attention towards Curie. free advertisement |
I have a feeling many of those kids would get in without thus program. At the end of the day it's just like taking a practice SAT test. Eventually you have to also keep up in class. |
Well no. Obviously they would not have - that was one of the reasons they changed the admissions test. Did they do fine once they got in? Probably. But no, without the specific prep directed at strategies for answering specific test questions, they would not have gotten in That's why I think the new test is so clever. It's much less hackable (cheatable). |
No they didn't. They changed the admissions test because not enough minorities of certain races were getting in. The test doesn't seem to bear much weight anymore but that was race driven, not cheating driven. |
There were several reasons for the change, stated and unstated. The current test has the most weight in the application, whether people like it or not. |
If you're at a strong neighborhood school and don't have a passion for STEM, you're better off not attending TJ. No reason to put up with the extreme competitiveness of TJ in return for a prize that doesn't actually mean much to you. |
Curie basically teaches math, science & english at a level two grades above. Many quit the program midway unable to handle their math. But those that complete their middle school program, perform well at TJ, as one would expect of any student entering with strong algebra, trig and early precal skills. It doesnt look like Curie's TJ results have come down at all even after admission change, and most classes are full. |
Once you account for per school quota, I think Curie's results have gone up. It is easier to prep kids fpr an essay than for advanced math problems. |
|
No, the opposite. Once they got rid of the quant test, Curie's prep class became meaningless. Their "admittance rate" dropped significantly. |
You are funny. No one enrolls in Curie to prep for a silly essay. As was mentioned above, Curie Learning has always taught math, science, and english enrichment for advanced learners. It's the significant volume of Curie students that apply to TJ that result in their high acceptance numbers. |
