[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD says last year Math was  easier than this year’s question.

Wording on this year’s made it lil more confusing than last year’s question. According to her - once you get thru that then it is a straightforward answer.

DD messed her essays. Waitlisted

troll post desperately convincing others that math acceleration doesnt help getting into TJ. Troll may have a point, since admissions doesnot evaluate student's math level.

But what troll doesnt mention is math acceleration in middle school lets that student take the highest level of advanced math courses offered at TJ, after getting admitted  :!:  .  TJ has been offering advanced math post AP DE courses for decades, and only fast learners on accelerated path have access to them, and never the Algebra 1 in 8th grade kids.  The most the bottom student entering with 8th grade Algebra 1 is at best Calc AB, that too with significant remedial help.    [/quote]

Agree 100%. The math level is not counted as part of the application process, that's a shame IMO but it is what it is. But if you are entering TJ with just Algebra 1 then it will be a struggle as you cannot take advantage of the advanced math classes offered by TJ and thus risk being in the bottom low. Please understand that the rigor and difficulty level at TJ is much higher than your base high school so if you did get in with Algebra 1, you seriously want to rethink accepting the offer, especially if you were not able to complete the very straightforward math problem. Essays might have got you in but they cannot help you thrive at TJ.[/quote]

TJ is a STEM school, not a Math school.  You sound confused.  Also, "bottom low" isn't a noun.  Or a thing.[/quote]
