[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]TJ admission really is more about test scores than anything else..[/b] I went to MIT, but I won't be encouraging my child to apply. [/quote] That's false - the test score is one of 4 things they look at. There are many reasons for your child to not apply, but the fact they use an admission test shouldn't be one of them.[/quote] You have to pass the threshold on the test before they will look at the other three things. That puts the test as gatekeeper.[/quote] Actually, it is test scores in conjunction with grades in school that are used as the cutoffs for semifinalist. So, a poor test taker with great grades will move on to the next round, as will a kid who maybe wasn't too serious about school in seventh grade or maybe had a tough time adjusting to middle school who is very bright and does great on the test. It is not just the standardized test that determines who moves in to the next round. [/quote]
