Hear from four TJ freshmen admitted under controversial circumstances

It’s a terrible title, but the article makes the rare decision of asking students what they thought.

I think TJ was right to get rid of the admissions test, because it makes it more fair for everyone. Now, people who can afford to spend thousands of dollars on test-prep programs won’t have an advantage over people who can’t. I think a lot of students agree with me.

But the debate seems to be really political now, and driven mostly by parents. I don’t think students have been heard very much.
