[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am predicting now a larger percentage of kids rejecting their TJ acceptance than recent years past.  I know this is not a “hot take” considering all the controversy surrounding the process and how late the decisions are, but I have firsthand knowledge of those that should get in but are a hard no now.[/quote]

That's great for kids who would otherwise be on the waitlist. [/quote]

OP here, yup good for them.  I have a TJ senior and current 8th grade DC was very interested in attending so applied.  However, for many reasons, DC is now definitely leaning more into base school. The process took so long DC had many engagements with base school so now feels more connected and excited about it. Even though we have not talked about the new admission process versus the one my DS went through, she is very aware through other kids talking, etc. I think the final straw was when we were at a TJ event (won’t get into details), someone (not TJ student or parent) responded “I guess that is what you get for the lowering the admission standards.” So good for the kids that applied and love stem and are dying to go.  My kid is no longer one of them. For the record, I was in the camp of the former admission process could use some changes, but don’t love the new one. Also for the record, my Senior did absolutely no admission test prep and was admitted AND found TJ challenging so all can be true.[/quote]
