[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did Longfellow have more than twice (37) the number of kids admitted to TJ this past year than Cooper (16)?

I know Longfellow is bigger, but it's not that much bigger than Cooper and Cooper is wealthier so it seems more families could afford prep.  [/quote]

It could be school culture. Maybe more kids at Longfellow discuss wanting to attend TJ and so more kids hear about that conversation so more kids end up applying. Parents who are interested in TJ tend to send their kids to Carson and Longfellow because they have reputations for preparing kids for TJ and a large number of kids attending TJ. You end up with more conversation about TJ because of that and so more kids who might not have thought about TJ hear about it and decide that they want to try for TJ.

Other schools might not have as many kids who are focused on TJ and so there is less general interest. The kids who apply, and are accepted, are more likely to be kids who were interested without peer infleunce.

Maybe.[/quote]
