[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people hating on a guy for saying he didn't think TJ was that important to spend Saturday mornings for years.[/quote]

Because he said his kid would have been successful getting in if he did.  It's insulting to think that kids that prep would not have gotten in otherwise.   [/quote]

If they would have gotten in otherwise, it’s a waste of resources.

It literally only makes sense to prep if you are trying to change your status from “not offered” to “offered”.[/quote]

What?  So you are saying that any kid that took a prep class would not have gotten in otherwise?  PP is right, you are just bitter because your kid couldn't make the cut.  [/quote]

No. What I’m saying is that when you do the TJ prep thing, there are one of three possibilities:

1) you don’t get in (waste of time/resources)
2) you get in, but you would have anyway (waste of time/resources)
3) you get in when you wouldn’t have otherwise (likely not the best candidate)

This logic only applies to standardized tests because THEY HAVE NO OTHER APPLICATION IN THE REAL WORLD EXCEPT FOR GETTING INTO SCHOOLS.

It doesn’t apply to sports or music, because in those endeavors the preparation is actually applicable beyond the tryout process.[/quote]
