[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board increased the size of TJ classes to 550 seats as part of the reform.  It’s entirely logical to conclude that there really are 100 seats in the rising junior and sophomore classes.

Pretty much anyone that is qualified to do the work applying this year will be admitted. Or at least they should be admitted since there is space. It’s a great school and as many kids as possible should have access to being a part of it.[/quote]

I think you are wrong.[/quote]

Yes, the are wrong.  They are NOT adding 100 seats to the other classes.[/quote]

Why not?[/quote]

For a couple of reasons:

1) It's a huge shock to a school's ecosystem to have it go from 1800 to 2200 kids overnight. By gradually increasing the numbers over the next several years, they'll be better able to handle the logistical challenges that come up.

2) It's REALLY HARD to fold into the TJ environment if you're not coming in at the start, and the "froshmores" who are selected from the sophomore applicant pool really are the cream of the crop.[/quote]
