It absolutely makes sense if you have an extremely strong STEM student (Honors Algebra II/Pre-calculus level) who is not as strong of a writer.  The admissions committee doesn’t look at math levels or have any way of seeing a student’s STEM ability, the only way to get in is to be able to write strong essays.[/quote]

My child is in 5th rising 6th, so a while until TJ, but I clicked on this thread because I had heard they eliminated the test for TJ and was curious what studying would look like.

If I understand things correctly, I find it to be a bit disconcerting. My child is very strong and interested in STEM. She is in AAP classes and scored advanced in both math and science SOLs. Writing is not and has never been her strong suit. As a STEM magnet school, why aren't they actually looking at how prepared a child is for STEM coursework vs. an essay and lottery system. I must be misunderstanding something, because that is completely asinine. [/quote]

Because math is racist.  [/quote]
