[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure why the 1.5% rule is so confusing. It guarantees every MS seats at TJ as long as they have students who meet the TJ Application requirements. It does not restrict schools to only those seats but reserves seats for every MS. Some MS don’t have enough kids apply to fill those reserved seats. Some schools have a lot more kids apply than the reserved seats. The reserved seats are filled from each school. All other applications go into a general pool, students are selected based on the points awarded for GPA, essay answers, math/science essay answer, and weights for IEPs, ELL, and FARMs.

OP: The new admission system is set up for a kid like yours. Someone who enjoys STEM but did not know about TJ until they were in 7th grade. She is in the right classes and is interested in applying. She doesn’t have to worry about not having the same time to prepare for the old Quant test or having a ton of STEM activities from grade school on her resume. She has the grades, is taking the right honors classes, and sounds like has good material for writing an essay that reflects her STEM interests. She is participating in math competitions so she is less likely to struggled on a timed math test, which is essentially what the essay is.  [/quote]
