[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get to TJ, college really doesn't matter. These kids are best of the best.[/quote]

You know they changed the admissions process right?  It's practically a random selection of the applicant pool.[/quote]
Why dredge up this old thread just to troll? TJ admissions is not random. Similar methodology to UCs and UT. Be gone! Take your sour grapes gripes elsewhere. [/quote]

It's basically random.  It is almost a cross section of the applicant pool.
It's an essay exam that mostly asks why you want to go to tj.
University of texas requires standardized exams.  University of california went test blind this year and they still look at AP test scores.

You might as well pick your basketball team from a pool of the tallest 75 kids in your school based on an essay about why they want to be on the basketball team because it wouldn't be fair to use a basketball skills tryout because some kids have more access to basketball training than others.

In the run up to this racially discriminatory change to the admissions process we heard time and again how colleges did it differently so we should emulate them.  Well, now colleges are reinstating test requirements, doesn't that mean we should reinstate the test at tj?  Or are these arguments only valid if they support your war on merit?[/quote]
