[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it fair to use 45% writing skills vs 35% academics. Does this point to messed up admissions process letting parents & professionals compete in the SIS space? Applicants get 3 weeks complete the SIS.

Does it sound fair to anyone? I totally agree reading and writing skills are a very important part of everything, but they shouldn't rank higher than Math & Science achievements, passion or their ability to do Math & Science.

Are persuasive writing skills  more important than math and science abilities for scientist or mathematician? We do want scientist to be able to express, but also have meaningful material to express.

No, my daughter is not waitlisted.[/quote]

Of course it is not fair. Well, most things are not fair for most people. So no biggie there.
Should something be done about it?  Yes.  Certainly.
The Essays and SIS are just way too subjectively rated...and to what end??  
ESL at TJ?  
TJ will become a school with majority of Rich Asians that cheat? 
For very bright, and hard working kids, it is just a lottery?
