[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why prestige is determined by how selective a place is. Like if colleges had a lottery and then some of them turned out grads who were consistently more successful, that would be impressive. But just being highly selective doesn’t mean a place is that great. Getting in is the accomplishment. Some extra opportunities might be there but it’s not like those opportunities can’t be there with more inclusive admissions. All the kids getting admitted would probably do amazing things wherever they go. [/quote]

Completely agree. My main concern (and I suspect others as well) would be if a significant portion can't handle the pace/rigor, cannot assimilate, and have to either really struggle throughout the 4 years there, or drop back to base. Hopefully we won't see this, and as you said, it will be fine without any kind of test.[/quote]

There will be some - there always are. Historically it's something like 10% that don't make it out of freshmen year. I don't think that number will be too much higher this year, if at all. [/quote]

The number might even be lower.  And so will the SAT scores is a couple of years . . . [/quote]

Huh? SAT scores are meaningless for TJ kids as they all get close to the ceiling.[/quote]
