[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well TJ is going to have to come up with a better plan for sophomore/junior admissions. Under the new admissions system attrition could be significant. (it already is fairly high) Right now it's only the kids that happen to know the process that can apply. [/quote]

I think they are gambling on the attrition to take place relatively early. In their Town Hall Meetings they definitely mentioned having a waitlist and drawing from it even up to the end of the first quarter anticipating that there might be some kids who would flush out.

Which I think is a fair gamble, given that they lowered a lot of barriers to applying in the first place - eliminating the exam, which required two Saturdays, and eliminating the $100 application fee.[/quote]

I would think just the opposite. With the new admissions attracting more talented students instead of just drawing from schools where prep is common this should be the strongest TJ class in decades. [/quote]
