[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some might say that TJ is a local example of Gladwell's premise. The bottom 25% graduating from TJ might well have been top 10-20% at their base HS -- with better college admissions results. [/quote] The bottom 10-25% of TJ used to be a lot of kids that had coping issues. Neuroatypical kids, depressed kids, kids with home issues. Now the bottom 10-25% are the DEI kids Similarly the bottom of the class at the Ivy+ were the kids that got in on preferences. The kids with preferences and resources tended to still do OK.[/quote]
