[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes no sense. TJ is highly selective, right? Obviously a lot of people want to go there. It’s not like only Asian kids are applying. [/quote] It's not only Asian kids who are applying, but the usually make up well over 50% of the applicant pool. The number of white applicants has steadily trended downward from over 2,000 back 20-some years ago to about 7-800 per year nowadays. Whether the stereotype is valid or not, white families are fleeing from TJ nowadays in part because they believe that their kids will have to sell out their extracurriculars in order to "keep up" with Chinese, Korean, and mostly Indian families who are perceived to be solely focused on academics and have an attitude of "whatever it takes" to gain admission to elite universities.[/quote]
