[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has been accepted.  She was also accepted at Catholic Schools.  We don't know what to do.  She hasn't even seen TJ.   There were no tours offered.  Can she see it?

If this is OP, and OP is not a troll, it just shows how poor the new selection process is.  A kid who is lukewarm about STEM, is not a STEM superstar in any way, and is somewhat indifferent toward TJ got accepted, presumably based on being a strong writer.  [/quote]

You'd be shocked how many kids in the last 20-25 years have come in to TJ as highly intelligent students but who met all three of those criteria exited TJ as some of the top kids in the class.

And similarly, how many "STEM superstars" left as burned-out shells of themselves after four years in the TJ environment amongst kids who were at or above their level of intellect.

There are a lot of kids who don't really know what they want to do with their lives when they're 13. And that's more than fine.[/quote]
