AOS AET admissions decisions this week?

[Anonymous]

I am barely hearing the wait list moving . Is there still any hope of waiting list moving forward as folks who have gotten TJ might have accepted already , Friday being the deadline

Friday is the deadline. Most decliners would take their time since it is an irreversible decision.

My waitlisted, now accepted DD had 284. It's all lottery, but rejected from AOS is weird. Maybe she didn't answer the essay question correctly or had too low scores in the science part of the test?

Algebra 2/Trig, which is where both AOS and AET Integrated Math 1 begins. While there may be a nominal mention of lower math in admissions criteria, the AOS & AET curriculum commences with Algebra 2. In the Academies math progression there's no lower-level math, akin to TJ's Math 1 & Math 2.

Every freshman takes the same class, but it doesn't start at algebra 2. They cover a lot of earlier topics, including slope.

Unlike TJ, AOS/AET has a maximum quota per school, hurting chances for kids at top schools- Brambleton, Stone Hill, Eagle Ridge, Willard. Nevertheless, the top students are more likely to get accepted to AET/AOS. Almost the entire MathCounts team got accepted.

I think AOS has 10% smaller class.

For the 70000th time, admissions is NOT solely based on this test. It's a quarter of the admission. Essay, teacher open fields, and actual middle school grades count.

It seems like they no longer want the Asian kid who spends 15 hours at Kumon every week.

True. Pardon my ignorance - what is "teacher open fields" ? do not think teacher recommendation letters are needed or lookedt at AOS/AET

AOL people ranking students as below

For AOS, essay+ average of 3 sections other than Tecklogic

For AET, essay+ average of 3 sections other than Scientific thinking

My Asian kid has been attending Kumon for years, and received offers for both AOS and AET IT.

Unlike TJ Admissions, AOL admissions appear to be rewarding students with higher math of Geometry and Algebra 2.
