[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all the current admissions process has done is increase the previously admitted 20+ lower level math algebra 1 applicants to about 190+, half of them struggle with poor grades and other half return to base school in first year, and some of those slots are backfilled with froshmore merit applicants?

To be fair the froshmore applicants are selected on merit.[/quote]

Yes, they pick the top kids from each school instead of using a bogus test.[/quote]

Even assuming that each school has enough kids that are qualified for TJ, you aren't even selecting the top kids from each school.
You need the test to do that.[/quote]

What do you think grades are based on? It's tests and they give us a much more complete picture than a corrupted QuantQ. [/quote]
Grades aren't based on much of anything anymore.  So many kids have 4.0s or near 4.0s in middle school that there's no way to differentiate between top kids and pretty average ones. Also, the GPA counts for much less than the essays and experience factors.  [/quote]
