Their numbers are still amazing. 1/3 of the class of 2024 came from them.
They are still getting great results with just the essays.
That’s not relevant. 2024 was the last class under the old system. 2025 and forward are the new system.
And they are still getting good results for class of 2025 and 2026.

Someone posted the results for Curie last year. Not as high as before, but still very good numbers, high enough that I theorized Curie did better than before once you account for the automatic spots per school.
40% of all applicants attend Curie. Is it any surprise that about a third of all students who get in to TJ are from Curie?
Is Curie curriculum difficult for an average student? What's the best grade to enroll in it?
Average meaning, can write three paragraph essays. The one that helps with TJ, how much work is it during the week? We hear students quitting just a few weeks into the program because the homework and tests are difficult to keep up (?). Trying to figure out if the student needs to be at a certain level, to benefit from these prep courses. Also, given that TJ admissions require primarily writing an essay, does the prep involve anything more than improving essay writing skills?
https://curielearning.com/middle-program-7-8 If you look at the site, the 8th grade program covers Geometry and grammar/vocabulary/reading comprehension. The accelerated math pace (Geometry, Algebra 2, and trigonometry in 8th grade) is likely the cause of much of the quitting

Curie takes kids and hammers away every bit of acadamic interest and creativity out of them.
But sure they do test well.
A tiny minority of kids benefit from Curie, but the vast majority are ill served.
What prep company do you work for?
Tired of competitors using these pubic forums to bash each other ...

I'm sure many TJ prep classes are doing much better with the essay admissions system than with the old exam-based system. It's much more preppable now.Anonymous wrote:what about sunshine who bragged about 80+ TJ enrollers for class 2027?

lots of tj prep schools out there, pick any one for those to prepare for essay writing. Not much difference in the outcome.

Easier to prep kids for essays, especially if the nonprepped are not aware of what TJ is looking for in these essays.
