[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have more respect for the process now as it seems to weed-out the "packaged" type applicants who worked so hard beefing up their resumes just to look good to the TJ admissions people. [/quote]

If all the 480 applicants that have been selected have written their student information sheet all by themselves for the so called self-reflection, kudos to them. But the truth is they have been trained to say things that an admissions committee member likes. Tiger moms will  get the training for these "packaged" type of applicants because they know their target, would figure out all aspects of what works. It is probably not s surprise to anyone that so many training places exist that will train, review the student authored information sheets. This system helps the followers, not leaders. In otherwords, it is stereotyping naturally passionate people that didn't care to beef up the some parts of their skills against the others. If you have followed the recent articles about TJ, their graduates have explicitly admitted that they didn't care about science and math before admission or after graduation. Isn't this detrimental to TJ's mission? Isn't it better to weigh some one that has already demonstrated capabilities and interest rather than some one that is writing outright lies on their data sheet?
