[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]haha, based on who got admitted and who didn't, my kid claims that it got be a lottery as none of them could find any correlation and refused to believe anything I said. Also, refused to admit that TJ admitted kids are smarter as so many really smart kids got waitlisted, which is beyond belief. Well, I pointed to a few smart kids that got in, but my kid says if its a lottery, then sure, some of the admitted will be smart :) [/quote]

What the kids infer is what matters.  They'll share this with their parents and it will also impact how they approach whether to apply to TJ and how much effort they invest in the applications process if they do apply.  The writing is on the wall.  Applications were down this year vs. last year and that trend may well continue.  [/quote]

Maybe if it becomes less shiny then just the real STEM kids will apply. Fewer students being pushed on a TJ death march since 2nd grade by their parents who like shiny things.

The "real STEM kids" increasingly will be found at other schools. Their parents will still like what you refer you disparagingly as "shiny things," but TJ will be the cubic zirconia of high schools.  [/quote]
