[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longfellow is probably the strongest but forget about TJ. [/quote]

That's weird since Longfellow sends more kids to TJ than any other MS. Going there is a big advantage.[/quote]

After all the media attention and all of the changes at TJ receiving so much public attention, you have no business spreading misinformation. Choosing Longfellow is literally a [i]dis[/i]advantage. A top-tier student from the nontraditional feeders has a significantly greater chance at TJ.[/quote]

You consider it a disadvantage even though more kids get in from Longfellow than any other MS? Seems like it has the best odds and your trying to keep it a secret.

Someone in top 20% but not top 10% at Longfellow is not getting in to TJ.  That same student has a decent chance to get in at some of these other schools.[/quote]

This is incorrect, as the admissions numbers show.[/quote]

A 2nd tier striver like that is probably not a good fit and will struggle at TJ. If the top kids at less affluent schools spent half as much time in outside enrichment, they'd score higher too. It's better that they restrict this to the very best across the board to find those with natural ability.[/quote]
