[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the data shows is that the bright, hardworking kids from the very middle class AAP centers are getting screwed. There's still a lot of interest in attending TJ at the middle class AAP centers, so there's a lot of competition for the spots, but the data shows that they're only getting in the minimum 1.5% and not any kids from the general pool. This is not entirely surprising, since the middle class AAP kids can't get the ED bonus points, but they also don't have the tutors and resources to help them write perfect essays and compete against the Carson or Longfellow kids for the general admission spots. My anecdata is for one of these schools, which only sent 7 kids to TJ. The top math kids did not get admitted. Instead, a few kids who most likely gamed the experience factors and the strongest writers were the ones who got in. [/quote] Yes, that take is consistent with the prior break-down of the statistics.
