[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me the process for admission now? Is there a test? Seems like an essay? Teacher recommendation? TIA.[/quote]

They took away the teacher recommendations, extracurriculars and all of the other components of the application. Now, all you do is complete the online application (student and parent portions), math teacher confirms math level and you submit application. Once application is submitted and the eligibility criteria are confirmed by the kids' middle school, s/he will appear for testing at the center that you select. At the testing center, kid will complete an essay type math problem and a "portrait of a graduate" essay. That's it.

I have no idea how they're going to assess merit based on that one testing day result but here we are. The TJ admissions court case is still ongoing, which may change how they do this moving forward. For this year's crop of kids, however, I think that they might be stuck with this. It's quite confusing. [/quote]

Is the "problem solving essay" the math problem solving/math proof type? Is it hard enough to differentiate the top kids from the application pool? I cannot find much about it from the old posts. Do the students still have to meet the class prerequisite requirements (honor algebra 1, honor science, honor language) before applying?
