Received rejection with a measure much more than that.
More than the Reading and Math Inventory scores, student's race matters the most to get in.

Neither Math Inventory/Reading Inventory scores nor race matters to get in.

The admissions process is pretty clear now, pretty straightforward. It is down to the essay questions, as compared to others in your middle school.

What is this inventory? My 7th grader never told me about such a thing

No one looks at or cares about Reading or Math Inventory unless it's basic or below.

Sorry. They don't care. The top 1.5% for TJ admissions refers to the kids who earn the highest score on the essays + GPA + experience factors in the TJ application. It's mostly based on the essays.

Your DC should skip TJ and go straight to college.
