[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is good.  We need very bright people in the humanities who understand science.[/quote]

And there is no reason a student who does well in STEM in high school should be required or expected to stay on the STEM track in college and beyond.[/quote]
+2 And the new admission guidelines accept many non stem students.[/quote]

I would not say it is admissions guidelines that bring in non-STEM students, but rather the fact that so many parents insist that their kids go to TJ whether they are interested in STEM or not.

Some of these kids are going to prep classes and their parents are signing them up for math and science teams starting in fifth or sixth grade. My child has encountered many kids at TJ who are only there because their parents insisted on STEM activities, even if that is not where the child's actual interests were. When they get to college and can finally make their own choices, they are choosing to explore their true interests.
