[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is not for math or science genius.. The admission process is skewed towards holistic approach, where they have to be good at SIS, essays, middle school grades, teacher recommendations , and 20 - 30% from TJ test(math + English) ..

A pure math or science genius would have benefited  from TJ labs, top teachers, facilities, etc... And TJ don't want them.

You have to see how coaching starts in the Asian communities from cogat and NNAT.  Everything has to be spoon fed to their children .[/quote]

I don't think anyone denies this isn't the case. Again, it's sad. I'm not sure about the turning away geniuses comment. If your genius can't put sentences together, then yes that process is not for you.

Putting Sentences together by coaching classes you mean ?

Why do think there is under representation of blacks or Hispanics ? They cannot afford to pay for coaching as much as Asians can.. Period.[/quote]

Asians are not the only ones with coaching and tutoring.
Not all Asians are able to pay for coaching/tutoring. Asians are gaining admissions despite the obstacles and disadvantages in the TJ admission process (Admission process was revised several times in the past decade or so to lower Asian students and increase non-Asian students). Let's celebrate hard work and accomplishments or do you want to put Asian quota at TJ like they do at top colleges and have affirmative action? [/quote]
