[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are wasting your time talking about test scores.  The equity people have said these are all scores under the old admissions, the new students are better.  They hope the new students will score better, but they know their lies will catch up to them. When the new students come in with lower scores, they will claim COVID, or mainly that the old system selected for students who were better at standardized tests, so of course the new students will have lower scores.  
Since colleges have also started deemphasizing SAT to help with their affirmative action admissions, TJ might get better college admissions results from the weaker crop of students, and they will hang their hat on that.[/quote]

NP.  Scores are down everywhere because of covid. Are they down more at TJ than elsewhere, or less?  I suppose we'll see next year.  If TJ gets better college admissions, whatever the grades or test scores are, then you are going to pooh-pooh that?  What a strange conversation.

Full disclosure: I think TJ is large enough for both exceptional students and for "regular" gifted students who are interested in STEM.  I also think there's a point where too much concentrated exceptionalism is harmful to those students and if instead they stand out at their base schools rather than boost TJ, that seems fine to me.
