[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Difficult to stand out with so many  high achieving Asian kids in college education.

Asian culture of academic achievement and scholarly pursuits.  Mainly intact, college educated and at least middle class clued in families.

No one is feeling bad that prom is cancelled but people may feel bad if scholastic tournaments, seminars, competitions and field trips etc are cancelled. See? Not a typical American HS experience. [/quote]

NP here.  But if you want a typical American HS experience, why would you try to apply into the school in the first place.  The school advertises itself as a STEM magnet school, so a concentration in STEM activities and learning should be expected.  Students and families have a choice to stay in their zoned HS or apply for TJ.  There should be room for those that want a STEM based choice and for those that don't, just don't apply.

This seems to me like complaining about universities like MIT, CMU, Stanford that have a strong STEM leaning.[/quote]
