Who cares....

well last year it was 66% Asian, and there has been talk that the school was trying to broaden it out a bit to include other groups, so it would be interesting to see how they fared in this effort.

Wow, racist much? Is there a different standard for Asians than for everyone else?

TJ is 70% Asian...

Actually, TJ is 64% Asian.

Which is a 400% enrichment in this area. Test scores shouldn't be weighted so heavily.

Big accomplishment to get accepted to TJ. The bigger challenge will start this September and to stay in TJ for the next four years and keep up with 4+ GPA. In TJ, B means F.

Test scores don't translate to how a student performs in the classroom

In TJ worse than B gets you kicked out. B is just a B. But 80 of the 480 will drop out.

You can call and find out where your child is on wait list. Top 1/3 usually gets in, middle 50-50, bottom 1/3 not likely. But your child can reapply next year. There rank remains. 20 ish kids per year drop out.

Really you can not get a B?
