[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. That's why I'd like to see the gender breakdown of the people with the highest 500 or highest 1000 scores on the TJ tests. If the gender ratio of top scorers is roughly equal, but then the subjective part of the selection process is selecting more boys, that's a problem. If the gender ratio of the top scorers is heavily boy weighted, then it is what it is. [/quote] This plan does not address: 1) Girls being either discouraged from applying by other individuals or lacking interest in TJ precisely because of either the gender disparity or the disparity in how the genders are treated once at TJ 2) The fact that the exam as currently constituted is a poor measure of STEM potential - it is merely a snapshot of where the student is currently and whether or not they've been exposed to certain materials in advance (see CurieGate) [/quote]
