[quote=Anonymous]I am sure part of it is to make sure that the kids are interested in the curriculum and have an idea of how they see themselves using the education that they are getting. It is about the only opportunity for kids to discuss why they want to attend TJ. They all have to meet specific requirements and look pretty similar. I wonder if the essays are meant to give the kids a chance to actually be honest about if they want to attend TJ. I graded AP exams and there were a decent number of kids who left things blank, wrote about their Proms, or just said that they were only there because the school or parent made them take the test. I would estimate 15% of the tests fit into this category. Since this is done without parents, in a regular year, it gives kids who are applying because their parents made them. Now parents can complain that their kid didn’t get accepted and the kids can shrug and say the tried. [/quote]
