I stopped reading when PLF made the argument that the Admissions Office was free to use the previous admissions process to select students instead of developing a new process. They plainly are not as two of the exams that were previously used no longer exist and developing a plan for assessing the Quant-Q, using it to cull a list of semifinalists, and then gathering teacher recommendations would almost certainly drive the process well into the fall.

Can’t they use this year’s test results and GPA and just go with that?

Remove bonus points for middle school, free lunch, etc?

If they end up with too many kids with the same exact score then lottery.

The “test” was problematic for a variety reasons.

It was not proctored
It did not test math. 
It was not a validated test - the TJ admissions office created it specifically to increase racial balance.

It’s all they have. Either that or complete lottery.

There are plenty of nationally normed tests available. Pick one, administer it in April/May.  Ranks kids according to the test and GPA and send decisions in June.

By April/May? Is that a joke?

They have the GPA and test results.

They sent decisions in June last year.

There was no test.  It wasn’t even proctored.  [/quote]

It was a huge mistake for TJ admissions to run the “test” virtually.  They did not even require cameras on and there was rampant cheating.

They also used the exact same questions on the make-up day, so plenty of kids who were “sick” had essays polished (but not too polished mind you!) and ready to go ready to go.  [/quote]
