[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]It is not just the standardized test that determines who moves in to the next round. [/b]

But I thought there was a cut-off or minimum score you had to have to advance.  Have they changed that?[/quote]
