[quote=Anonymous]Don't hold much expectation on wait-list movement. Parents will push their kiddos into TJ if admitted. After the new admission was implemented, this forum has seen more and more posts asking about transferring back to base school and student getting a D for a math course. Without a rigorous academic test, being admitted sending ambiguous information to parents and students. Parents tend to believe that their children are good enough in STEM and forget that they got in under a lottery system. I am not saying the old admission is good. It was problematic too. But the new admission process seems causing more problems. It didn't just fail in promoting diversity, but also made students academic performance worse. TJ class 2024 had 165 National Merit semifinalists. There were 81 National Merit semifinalists in the class 2025 . It is hard to find a good admission process. Maybe people should make more efforts on advocating improving base school.[/quote]
