[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Oh, you mean TJ rejected the top 5% of the AMC8 in favor of these kids who were so awesome at math that they needed extra tutoring just to keep up with their cohort? You don't seem to understand how to formulate an argument.[/quote] TJ didn't reject the top 5% of the AMC 8. They rejected 1/4 of the kids who landed within the top 5% of the AMC 8 and presumably accepted the other 3/4. That sounds about right to me. If every FCPS middle school offered Longfellow levels of coaching and the AMC 8 to all honors students, there would be more top 5% honor roll students than there are TJ slots. AMC 8 isn't nearly as big of a deal as AMC 10/AIME or Mathcounts. It certainly shouldn't be the end all and be all of TJ admissions. [/quote] Please read - "they rejected more than 100 of the 376 applicants with scores of 47 or higher on the math portion of the admissions test, which has a maximum score of 50. "[/quote]
