Of course, this will NEVER happen, and if it did, there would be charges that the formula was biased. As if a computer is capable of being as biased as a human being.

what consideration of gender balance are you referring to?

When DD got there, she was told "the odds are good, but the goods are odd"

Congratulate your kid's TJ admission. Unfortunately, this is the fact that your kid may have the first B/B+ when take summer chem after 9th grade. The best tutor I can recommend is peterap1@hotmail.com. He is a specialized doctor who have taught TJ students only summer chem, IBET, AP chem/AP Bio/AP Environmental science. The summer chem is known to be very tough if not prepare It crams one year course in 5 weeks. If prepare early, it's relatively easy and could get A-/A. The first week, most get A/A-, 2nd week, B+A-A, third week, B B+A-A, 4th week, C B B+ A-, less A, the final week, mostly get B B+, a few get A. Even get B in summer chem, he helped students get A in both AP Bio and AP Chem. Some got award in outside competitions after learning from him.
