[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would agree to most of what is being said about over prepping and 'spreading the opportunity'. DC is wait listed. She had decent scores high 70s in English, high 80s in quant and high 90s in science. Never been a part of any robotics or similar challenges in ES and MS. She's more artistic and wants to explore stem in traditionally non stem fields. And that's what her sis was all about. she does have super strong grades and I think the recs we're pretty strong as well. Her friends with scores in the 90s got straight up denials. I guess tj is trying to be more diverse?! [/quote]

I don’t think it’s about forcefitting diversity - your child got in on her own terms without needing that. TJ is looking for kids who are passionate about what they do, and if that happens to be art, so be it. Better her than some kid who’s doing (or being made to do) STEM activities soullessly simply because it’ll look good for the SIS. Loving what they do  is the most important thing -- for both STEM  and non-STEM kids.[/quote]
