[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essays haven't always been required as part of the TJ application process. Communication skills truly are necessary, no matter whether one ends up in a STEM or humanities field.

(Although, to be fair, writing on a phone or tablet can be difficult, so people don't always get their best writing in their posts.)

Right but in addition to TJ, she claims to have graduated from Stanford (undergraduate), graduate school, worked as a teacher for a while and also attended medical school.[/quote]

There are those who say that people in STEM fields don't need to be able to write well. I have known very well-educated STEM people who write very poorly. I'm always amazed when I read the writing of some STEM people. I don't think they realize what a poor impression it gives to the reader.

In my opinion, it is a good thing that TJ now emphasizes writing more than they used to. In a competitive world, it will make a difference that these kids will have better communication skills.

+1  Writing skill is important for STEM workers/professionals as well. You don't get a second chance to make first impression.[/quote]
