[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While researching any latest news about the release of admissions results, I pondered whether my kid is truly a functional genius and whether existing TJ upperclass students (and their parents/guardians) would have their own negative prejudices towards the incoming class of 2026. Years ago, when she attended a Techstravaganza Student Panel Q&A with the audience, she unexpectedly asked the Panel how they cope with their day (given the pressures of performance, expectations to succeed, etc.)... something along those lines. So, while waiting anxiously in anticipation of the results, the best we can do as caregivers is to encourage our loved one to continue to do their best in the face of prejudice. They made it this far in the timeline process of selections; so, if not selected for admission, then it will actually be an opportunity for her to shine her brilliance elsewhere (and probably have more fun, LOL).[/quote] Don't worry about the prejudice and don't pay too much attention to this forum. This whole genius thing is just hype. Very few of these kids are geniuses. As long as your kid has an interest in STEM and can work hard, they will be fine. Just ignore the prejudice and keep moving forward. Asian immigrant dad here. What I think of the test elimination is not relevant. Best of luck to your child. [/quote]
