[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You actually don't need objective criteria to figure this out. And there wouldn't be a cutoff. If the 51st kid is legitimately at the same level as the 50th, they'd get in. Same with the 52nd. If the dropoff is from 49 to 50, that's where the cutoff would be.[/quote] They should get rid of teacher recommendations and essays, and instead ask the TJ semifinalists for a list of their 5 greatest achievements, as well as some sort of documentation verifying the achievement. Most TJ semifinalists will come across as very smart, motivated, but ultimately pretty normal kids. A smaller handful will seem legitimately very impressive. Pick those kids, and then lottery off the remaining spots. [/quote]
