[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who knows me will be able to know I wrote this. My son said, “Mom, if I have to prep to get in, maybe I shouldn’t be going.” Wish more people were as smart as my (then) twelve year old. [/quote] I don’t necessarily disagree with you or your son, but do you feel the same way about the SAT or other parts of college apps? What about MCAT, LSAT, GRE? The TJ test and admission process have had flaws for many years, but I don’t think unprepped kids do better once at TJ than prepped kids. And there are certainly kids who might be a good fit who don’t prep and then don’t get admitted. Ability to work extremely hard is a key part of TJ success, and prepping would be one indicator of that dedication. Obviously the level of prepping will vary, and doesn’t need to be years in advance of drills, but let’s not be so quick to throw out basic preparedness with extreme prepping. [/quote]
