But given the fact that multiple people missed the deadline, it's clear their process is bad.

Further, if the teacher recommendations are not actually due until 2/11, then prospective students should be able to submit them.  Why does the school need to know the teacher's name? What if the teacher agreed, something happened, and they had to get a different teacher to do it?  It doesn't make any sense to have to give the teachers name ahead of time. It would only make sense if the system they were using or their admin people had very poor processes or could not understand the system itself. [/quote]

They’ve had this same process for a long time. They need the names because they send the selected teachers the forms to fill out on line. The teachers are not handwriting recs and mailing them in. They generally don’t just switch teachers. Teachers in these grades know how it works and they are prepared.

I’ve followed TJ admissions for a few years now and I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about this before. I’m not aware of this happening to any of the other kids who applied at the same time mine did (from the same school) or in the years since. Maybe if you could show that the number of days to respond was so reduced this year that numerous kids missed the deadline they might extend the deadline?

Earlier it used to be 2 weeks time, now it is reduced to a week out of which 3 are only working.[/quote]
