So why is this happening?  I don't understand.  What is the admissions looking for and why are they selecting students with poorer math skills?  Is it in favor of kids who are stroner is Science?[/quote]

I meant "[b]stronger[/b] in Science."[/quote]

You may not believe this, but in the last test there was not even a single word algebra problem. The geometry problems were also very easy, so no effort was made to distinguish between those students who are good in math vs the mediocre or poor students. The TJ also rejected a lot kids who did a great job on SIS because it assumed that these kids were coached and not naturally talented. However, as part of SIS guidance, the school emphasized that students conduct research about various clubs it offers and research opportunities it provides including internship opportunities. Those who took their guidance seriously did a fine job on SIS, but TJ deemed them as being coached and not possessing aptitude for STEM. The admission office needs to hire a psychiatrist to give some sense to the people who are running the office. I am positive that this school is going down the drain. Currently enrolled students do not have enough time to think creatively...it is predominately cramming. I have yet to find a famous alumni of this school... some one who has made a significant difference in people's lives because of his or her research in medical or IT or any other scientific field.
