[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP again. As I mentioned I'm a teacher. This is off topic but every year I write a few TJ recommendations and I rarely have a student that wants to go.  Most are thrilled when they don't get in because they can stay with their friends. [/quote]

And many kids are like my DS (not Asian BTW) and a couple of his friends who wanted it badly, worked very hard in MS to make it happen.  And were thrilled to get in.  (And in the case of DS, "prepping" consisted of a one week summer class familiarizing him with the test and a few hours spent with me brainstorming SIS ideas and writing practice essays).  Certainly, some kids go to TJ because their parents tell them to apply. But many really want the STEM opportunity, the unique learning environment, and to be around kids with similar interests.  And in the case of DS, find even a "good" AAP ES/MS center to be not nearly challenging enough. It's a shame Getting into TJ has become such a rat race.  But it still serves a valuable purpose.
