Hello! Our child is currently in the 7th grade, and recently told us about TJ. We have realized that the competition there is strong. She goes to Franklin middle, and we figured out less than 10 students from Franklin get admitted. Our daughter is passionate about stem as she is participating in the AMC 8, did a stem-bootcamp 8 week course, and will be on track of taking geometry next year. We are aware this is not enough. Please let us know the admission process, and what we need to do to hopefully get her accepted to TJ. Thank you![/quote]

There is an application you have to fill out.
You will want to keep up your grades.  The most common GAP among entering students is 4.0

Look at previous essay questions and think about how you would answer them (not the math question but the other essay questions)

One of the biggest hurdles on the essayt exam is competing the exam.  Most kids run out of time so practicing the essays so that you get a sense of the timing will be helpful.

After that it seems a bit random.[/quote]

It's not random at all. In fact, only the top 1.5% who apply 
from each school are accepted.[/quote]

False.  The top kids aren’t necessarily admitted, the 1.5% floor is based on the number of 8th graders at a middle school (not the number of TJ applicants), and some middle schools like Carson continue to send more than 1.5% of their 8th graders to TJ.  [/quote]

Nope they select the very top kids using objective measures. Sure, you may feel differently but they use actual metrics instead of your feelings.[/quote]

This is a lie, just like your false assertion that only 1.5% of applicants from each school are admitted. [/quote]
OP: +1. I have also heard the 1.5% rule is only in the pool of each school, but schools like Carson, Longfellow, ect. send more than just the top 1.5 because the remaining students are sent into a larger pool.[/quote]
