[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If grades are awesome and the scores are brilliant, then the only reason has to be the SIS or the recs. Perhaps the recommendations aren’t as excellent as you think, or the child didn’t actually  want to go and that was reflected in the SIS[/quote]

+1.  The three test scores are only part of it! Grades,  SIS, teacher recs are considered in addition.  Those of you posting three test scores are missing the point.

The point is that most weight is given to subjective scoring of essays/SIS. It is certainly not choosing
The top stem candidates [/quote]

TJ no longer seems to be a STEM school at this point.  I think this is good and bad but it looks like they are more about creating a well balanced instead of kids who are interested in STEM which I thought was a prerequisite since it is a STEM school

One possible strategy is  that they take semi finalists off of test scores but then for who gets in it's much more subjective which might be how they are weeding out the cookie cutter hard core STEM folks but again why call it a STEM school if you aren't taking people actually interest in STEM[/quote]
