[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they determine the top 1.5% from a middle school anyway? So many kids have a 4.0[/quote] It will not simply be based on GPA. It will be a largely subjective assessment about who they like the most for TJ. If they were upset about the test prep firms before, just wait until those firms reverse engineer what makes a TJ applicant most likable. [/quote] Exactly. How will people trust the committee who admits the kids? Where will be the oversight there?[/quote] The easiest and perhaps only way to game the system will be to send your kid to an underperforming middle school, which would likely please the SB both because the school improve and because your kid would be used to demonstrate that kids from those schools can succeed if given an chance and expand the 1.5% floor [/quote]
