TJHSST is now 64.2% Asian. So yes, things changed and are changing.

Wow, that's a big change in representation. I thought rayiner was mentioning more about after he left, but actually those are the percentages now and have changed dramatically in the last five years.

I'm questioning if I would even get in at this point (my work ethic always beat out my test scores). I'm wondering if this rigidity to "scores" is helping things -- I probably would have to agree with the author's assessment of a "robotic student" molding themselves to what the TJ admissions office wants.


According to that link, the incoming freshman class is 64.2% Asian, not the school as a whole. It does state that they're a majority but doesn't say by how much.


Okay. Nonetheless it is an important indicator of the direction in which the school is going (increasing YOY proportion of Asian-Americans).
