[quote=Anonymous]There has been targeted outreach to underperforming middle schools, suggesting that simply applying to TJ is enough to gain admission under the 1.5% quota. These messages downplay the lack of math and science readiness at those schools, and imply that an emotional personal essay carries more weight. It's only after students receive an offer that they start understanding the real demands of the TJ curriculum. Many ultimately decline the offer, and those spots are then extended to waitlisted students from top-performing middle schools. Those that accept their with the lowest math struggle during freshman and endup leaving, and those spots are backfilled by froshmore 10th grade admits, again from top performing fcps schools that apply.
