[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That's not what I'm saying. The new criteria makes perfect sense. [b] It favors talent over prep[/b] and levels a playing field that has long been gamed. I really don't understand why people are defending an admission process where most of those who were admitted clearly cheated.[/quote] You keep making this claim, but you're not providing any explanation as to how the new system will "favor talent." In the new system, they only have GPA and an essay to use. Every single kid who is above average will pretty much look the same. The same kids who prepped before will get tutors to ensure straight As as well as coaches for writing a perfect essay. The old system was far from perfect, but at least using teacher recommendations and more/better essays helped the TJ selection committee identify the top notch kids. Now, they have absolutely no basis to identify them. [/quote]
