[quote=Anonymous][/quote] there haas been conflicting information on this and the other TJ thread about these essays. Some say the essays are done in the testing room so can't be tinkered with by any adults. Then I read the applicant gets three weeks to complete the Student Information Sheet, which is essentially short essays and very important, so it could be reviewed by professionals. So which is it? [/quote] Just read further up this thread or go to the TJ Admissions site. It is both. 2 Essays during Entrance Exam (25%) and SIS short questions (3 wks, 20%). Students can get tutored to learn what reviewers are looking for in the essays, but they have to write it alone. Anybody can write the SIS for them. The reviewers can assess both of these (45%) as subjectively as they want and that determines who gets in and who does not, since there is not enough variation in the semifinalists' quantitative scores and teacher recs (55%)to make much differenciation.
