[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think his dad is right to shine the light of shame on TJ admissions -- a kid who gets a near perfect score on the SAT at 15, who is considered 3 grades ahead and taught himself Latin can't get into TJ? WOW. Something is really wrong.[/quote] There is something wrong with the admissions process at TJ and he is right to shine a light and keep working on this. Robbie is just one of many who wee bypassed in TJ admissions in favor of "other" qualities. It is time for a rework of the TJ admissions process. Money did not keep Robbie out -- but he was undeniable qualified and should have gotten in -- and many others like him. There are very few students like Robbie at TJ.[/quote]
