I don't see TJ as a place that should demand that 13 year olds have already devoted their childhood to STEM but should be a place for kids who are smart and motivated and interested in STEM to attend. I also see that many kids do not have the ability to participate in STEM extra curricular activities. Those activities require time, money, and transportation. Yes, many programs offer scholarships for under privileged kids but the child still has to get to the class, which requires transportation and someone to drop off and pick up. Not every child has that ability. Not every ES has the same STEM after school programs.

Why opportunities should be given to kids who didn't devote to STEM before and their parents were not willing to pay time and efforts on their children's education? 
Everybody has 24 hours a day. It's equal. The diligent parents do their own full time work and also spend a lot of time and efforts on their children's education. The diligent students spend time on study while other kids spend time on party. Why they should be penalized for the diligent work?
