[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine standing at the school house door telling a group of people that there are too many of them who are gifted and academically high achievers, so we are not going to accept their children into our program, even when we know they're deserving and qualified.[/quote]

It would be abhorrent if that were happening. What is actually happening is that people are standing at the school house door saying "there are groups of people who are systematically excluded from this school but who are also gifted and academically high achievers, and we are going to make room for them in part by expanding the overall size of each incoming class".

Again, just because it [b]impacts[/b] you doesn't mean it's [b]about[/b] you.[/quote]

+1. It would be unsurprising if the raw number of Asian students offered admission to the Class of 2025 were actually [i]higher[/i] than the Class of 2024, even if the percentage is reduced. Remember, we're looking at 550 offers of admission and a rolling process from that point forward.[/quote]

lol - you can't be serious.  So this is a good thing for Asian Americans?[/quote]

Well, let's see....

- going to school with a few more kids from diverse perspectives would be pretty good for the Asian Americans who get into TJ, as the myopic points of view on this thread routinely prove
- the ones who won't get in are likely to be the ones who got in because of test prep and would be toward the back end of the class anyway, whose college prospects are most hampered by having gone to TJ in the first place
- TJ kids as a whole suffer in the college admissions process every year because too many of their students (all of them, not just Asians) are too similar on paper

... so yeah, it honestly probably is good for us.[/quote]

oh, and I forgot that there's no longer a compelling reason for me to send my kids to a million hours of test prep. I wasn't going to anyway, but at least now I don't have to feel like a bad parent at temple for not shelling out thousands of dollars.[/quote]
