Are these typical acceptance numbers for TJ? |
The numbers were higher but they started going down beginning about 10-12 years or so ago. |
Confirmed. When publications started ranking TJ #1 in America, beginning with US News and World Report, that began a flock of families that were interested in TJ not for the educational value but for the prestige. Consequently, while test scores went up slightly, student quality overall went down, the student body homogenized, and TJ students became less appealing to elite schools. |
Actually, as number of Asian students increased, acceptances to top 20 schools decreased. |
Yes. The numbers were lower years ago. For the past few years, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford increased their numbers due to schools' emphasis on STEM now. |
Numbers were higher years ago. |
MUCH higher. |
And there are many more TJ students now than 10 years ago. |
Colleges and universities are diversifying their classes so you will not see one school like TJ or the prep schools like Exeter dominate the admissions as before. It doesn't mean those rejected students are any less worthy. |
