[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The class of 2025 just took the PSAT for national merit a week or two ago.  They don’t have any national merit stats for kids selected under the new process.  [/quote]

Um, no. That’s incorrect, but please don’t let me interfere with your alternative facts.

Sorry, I misunderstood your comment as class of 2025 not being part of new admissions system. I guess then, let’s wait and see. [b]If class of 2025 comes back w 10x the number of semi finalists[/b], I assume all of these anti-admissions policies will die a quiet death?[/quote]
Ah.  Gotcha.  We cross posted.

Regarding the bolded, that would be impossible, since each state is capped.  The only reasonable metric would be what percent of the national merit semifinalists in the TJ catchment area are attending TJ.  But to be clear, no one has this data for any kids admitted under the new process, since the data doesn't yet exist.  Anyone insisting that NMSF data proves that either the new system is leading to a weaker crop of kids or that it is leading to kids stronger than ever is lying, since the data flat out doesn't exist.
