2) Furthermore, it is self-evident that they do so with the express purpose of advancing one racial group's acceptances to a publicly-funded institution of higher learning - the 133 offers that they claimed and annotated in the Class of 2024 was equivalent to about 75% of the South Asian population of that class. This statistic only furthers the disgusting narrative that Asian - and specifically Indian - students are only at TJ because their parents paid for expensive prep, when in fact it's likely that a large majority of those students would have been very strong candidates for TJ Admissions even without the impact of the money their parents spent.

There were 133 offers, but there clearly weren't 133 kids actually attending TJ.  Many were offered admissions to AOS or AET in addition to TJ, and probably at least some chunk of the 133 offers were LCPS kids who got in off of the wait list after other LCPS kids turned down TJ for AOS or AET.  Curie is of course going to inflate its numbers to promote its program.

Does anyone have the demographics for the kids applying to TJ from LCPS?  Is it a mix of all races and SES, or is it almost entirely UMC/wealthy South Asians?  If the latter, Curie is likely not a factor at all in admissions.  [/quote]
