[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes… if you remove being an excellent test taker from the admissions criteria, you’ll have a class of kids who aren’t necessarily that great at taking standardized tests.

Thankfully, being a good test taker has no practical application other than school admissions processes. So who cares?

Were any of these kids URMs?  Were any from lower income middle schools?  Were any of them FARMS?  Were any of them passed over for 9th grade admissions and instead admitted as froshmores?  I'm willing to bet you that they're all non-FARMS Asian kids from the traditional TJ feeder middle schools.  If so, it means they got in despite the new process and not due to the new process.  That is doubly true if any of them are froshmore admits.  [/quote]

You already knew the answer to all those questions when you wrote this.
They are all asian.
I don't know if any are froshmore admits but I recognize a few names from a feeder school.[/quote]
