[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son who is smarter than my other DC who attends TJ  didnt get accepted. He is a geek. [/quote]

Do you know any others that got in from your MS?  Would you say your son is more qualified than they are?[/quote]

I dont know any from his school. Yes I can say that with conviction my son is more qualified. I dont want to list his achievememts here if I do if someone from his school is reading they will know who I am talking about.

Maybe they didn't like his essay.  Is he in private school?[/quote]

Yes could be his english is weak. He is stem focused not really interested in reading. not in private.[/quote]

IDK.  My kid got in with a B+ in standard (not HN) English in both 7th and 8th.  Dyslexic with  an IEP.  No real STEM ECs— unless you count his Minecraft addiction.    I was surprised he got in. Especially since he is taking  Algebra I in 8th, with a B first  semester. Then again, he should have gotten “experience points” for the learning disorder.

I’m excited for him.  I had always thought the dyslexia would be a deal killer.

I guess he got in under the new 1.5% / school from an under represented school and met the minimum requirements GPA 3.5. If you and your child are surprised he got in, you have a serious decision to make. It is going to be very competitive and stressful and some kids can go into depression not being able to handle the load and pressure. If he can handle those to come in par with other top students, accept it else give this opportunity to other deserving GPA 4 students so a top kid from Longfellow or Carson can make it. These top kids from these top middle schools have worked a lot and been involved in lot of STEM ECs and disappointed for not getting in due to per school quota. Hope you do the right thing.[/quote]

it's C4TJ fiction[/quote]

You know you sound like the boy in the cry wolf story? Once in a while you may be right but nobody believes you.  Anything you don’t agree with C4TJ fiction or conspiracy.  Come up with a rebuttal or stay out of conversations you don’t quite grasp.  [/quote]
