[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30% of TJ's class went to Curie is different than 30% of Curie got into TJ.  I think it is a much lower percentage than that(and someone on here suggested the number was 90%), and that Curie has nearly 1000 students in its TJ classes, though this would give them almost half the applications, so maybe not.[/quote]

Could have changed the test...why did they not?

also another question...

Does Curie also help in Math Olympiad, Spelling Bee, Geography Science Olympiad, admissions to STEM Phd programs. Tech entrepreneurship? asking for a non-Asian friend. [/quote]

If your expectation is that a school system would change the exam that they give every year to a pool of 3,000 applicants (from say, the Quant-Q to the SHSAT or SSAT), then you're showing that you have no idea how admissions works on any level. If you're asking for the Quant-Q to show up in a different form every year, that already happened.[/quote]

So what exactly is the problem now? [/quote]

I can't speak for everyone but as someone who is pro-reform, I'd be the first to admit the new system is also lacking. I'd suggest restoring recommendations but try to address their shortcomings too. Maybe require a reasonable baseline in terms of math since this is supposed to be a STEM program not remedial ed.  Also look at ECs and verify achievements. [/quote]
