On the other hand, of the students who applied, these are percentages for those making the first cut from those who applied is about the same for Carson, Rocky Run, and Longfellow (about 75%) and lower for the other schools (65%-37%).  So it doesn't appear that the lower fraction of Longfellow or Rocky Run students applying to TJ versus Carson (69% and 73% compared with 82%) is of any higher or lower caliber.   Of course, if the math tests for the semifinal selection were harder these might or might not change, but it is impossible to know which direction they would change.  The only thing that can be said now is that the students applying from each of the top 3 schools are of similar caliber at least as far as the semifinalist pool selection is concerned.   It doesn't say anything about those not applying either, but looking at the same data point from a couple of years ago when an equal fraction of Carson and Longfellow students applied, the semifinal percentage success rate was similar for Longfellow (73.8% and 76%) and Carson was at (68%).  So it has increased this year for Carson.
