It also shouldn't be that surprising that a school with an SAT-like admission test would produce graduates who have incredibly high SAT scores. It is an admission process that highly selected for great test takers.
- wiredfool 6y agoI think in my year, the admission test _was_ the SAT, just taken in 8th grade. (Class of 90)

- wiredfool 6y agoThey never said, but at the time it was a full application package, essay, recommendations, and such. My year was approx 800 applicants for 400 places, that ratio skewed significantly harder, Quickly, as years went on. (I was in the second class)

- jcranmer 6y agoThe TJHSST admissions procedure when I did it was basically the same as the college admissions procedure, complete with SAT-like test, grade submissions, letters of recommendations, and the essays.
