[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no interest in TJ, but why don’t they implement a similar application/acceptance system of Ivy League and other good colleges:

Have the test but also take into consideration background, personality, extracurricular activities etc? Do they have to write an essay? Is there an interview?

Yes, it would probably mean that an Asian or white male would have to score much higher on the test than a Hispanic or black female, but as long the black/hispanic (some other race) scores enough or the minimum they consider acceptable (meaning, the child has a chance to succeed in the program); that would be ideal.

Exactly. Admissions protesters are always citing that they have higher scores and don't get in. That's just not how it works. [b]Once you achieve a minimum standard on scores, everyone is qualified to get in[/b] (based on their score). Then, there are other factors to consider. Why is this so hard to understand?[/quote]

Quota queen, do you actually listen to yourself? The only reason that the minimum score is lowered is to allow for URMs to be accepted who have inferior test scores.[/quote]
