[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it was not meeting it prior to this year either given how many kids were prepping for the test. If it was to really serve the tippy top kids that “need” TJ those kids would not need to prep. The whole factory business of prep schools made a mockery of that supposed goal TJ was trying to serve. So unless they can figure out a way around the preppers and the years long planning people did to strategize what activities to do to get in….I am happier with the new system. [/quote]

Just shut the f up.  It was the number 1 high school in the U.S.  Clearly, the admissions process was getting the best and brightest.  Stop all the Asian hate.[/quote]

It was ranked number 1 by several publications because of the students' performance on standardized exams. Given that the admissions process overselected for test-taking ability and incentivized expensive and time-consuming courses, it shouldn't be surprising that the school ranked highly in those metrics.

Also, who said anything about Asians? Is the Asian identity so wrapped up in TJ that you can't separate the two? [/quote]

You people say "preppers" to mean Asians.  And it is ranked number 1 based on 6 criteria.  No one cares about performance deciding a competitive process until its dominated by Asians.  You are such a racist.

"You people". Real nice.

If you knew anything about TJ you would know that there are dozens of "preppers" who get in every year who are NOT Asians, and there are dozens of Asians who get in every year who are NOT "preppers". You're creating a false equivalency to prop up your tired narrative of persecution. That narrative lost for a reason. It's ugly, childish, and smacks of privilege.[/quote]
