[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Q:How does one prep place account for 25% of TJ Admissions? Ans: The kids who are self-selecting into going to this prep place are high achievers, have a culture of valuing academics at home, have parents who are themselves educated and will subsist on PB&J sandwiches but will save for these classes. . These kids probably will get into TJ even without going through this prep course. They are driven by FOMO and not actual need. These kids already have stellar credentials.[/quote] So the parents are wasting their money, then? Spending their kids' time that could be spent elsewhere? Spending money that could be spent on something healthier than a PBJ?[/quote] Ya the kids are so gifted they would've gotten in anyway... right... :D[/quote]
