[quote=Anonymous]We were lucky to have our daughter quality as a TJ semifinalist this year.  Unfortunately, we missed the teacher name entry deadline last Friday (name entry, not the final recommendation text) for TJHSST.  The admission director said we have to pull out from the application and cannot continue.  I was searching for an appeal process but most links lead nowhere.

In our household, I was responsible for TJ date tracking.  I completely missed the Jan 25th date in the congratulatory email, and was surprised when we checked Sunday evening.  All along we thought she could talk to her teachers this week.  She already had two teachers in mind last week, but we were oblivious to the Friday deadline, else we could have done the name entry that day.  Between a couple of school tests last week, my daughter was preparing for the essays on the 9th.

We now have to withdraw from the process.  It is heartbreaking --and I will feel guilty forever-- to deny her a chance to test for a TJ spot because of a missed name entry (because I missed a sentence while overjoyed reading the email :( ; I remember thinking, ok, the next date we have to know is the 9th).  But the official response was a very dry you can't continue.

Is anyone familiar with an appeal?  The appeal is not on the selection, just to be allowed to continue to the essay exam.  Her teachers already agreed to write a recommendation.

Appreciate any tips.  Thank you.

(This is probably a unique case so it would be easy to identify me, but will try to be anon.)[/quote]
