[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What would have separated them was the evaluation of their responses to the Student Portrait Sheet questions and whether they came off as genuine or canned. You have to remember, what parents pay for in exam prep is the ability to pass off their relatively workaday child as the very "super-genius" that you're referencing. That's a lot of why you had hundreds of students in each class who engaged in relatively few extracurricular activities at TJ but still complained of being up until 2 AM working on their physics problem sets.[/quote] I think if you account for the per-school quotas, you will find that Curie was more successful at placing students. It's a lot easier to prep kids for an essay than for a math and science test. Plus if the students are dishonest, they can claim all sorts of accomplishments in the essay. These accomplishments likely won't be checked, where they could be if it was part of the standard application.[/quote]
