Thanks in advance

Depending on AOS/AET - they take the average of 3 sections

FOR AET - It is avg of all sections except scientific thinking
FOR AOS - It is avg of all sections except tech logic


Test part is only 1/4 of the criteria..Below is criteria

1) 6,7 and 1st quarter of 8th grades
2) Essay part of the test
3) stem critical thinking part of the test

On top of these - each school has a quota. This system is unfair to students from the top competitive MS in the county .

You made this up to fit your own desire of what is important. It isn’t true.

Above Post may be correct . Below is admissions criteria for Academies Website

All applicants:

Enrolled in Algebra I or above at the time of application
Writing Assessment
STEM Thinking Skills Assessment
Final grade of C or above in math and science courses in grades 6 and 7, and semester I of grade 8

For AOS and AET, even though they started to mention the lower Algebra 1 minimum to apply to please the equity crazies, everyone admitted have atleast Geometry and many with Algebra 2. Even so, the AOS math is not easy, and struggling kids return to base school, although very few. AET math is manageable.

If any of the kids return to base school, Those positions will be offered to other waitlist kids?

I thought year one math was the same for both?

No. Once school year starts, admissions process is closed.

They are different. AOS has more math Analysis than AET. However, both AOS and AET math are integrated two year math courses. Content wise they are based on Algebra-2 trig and Precalc topics, plus a lot of Math Analysis topics blended in. Topics are introduced using elaborate problem sets with some as group projects, unlike in base school where math techniques along with practice problems are introduced using traditional sequencing.

AOS/AET kids will be become more competitive than base school kids in order to good Collage admissions.
Hope these programs are available to all interested kids!

At this point, extremely slim to none.

Why do you say so ? or is it just a random thought

TJ acceptance deadline has passed. No other significant events left to move the waitlist. May be a pop-up over the summer, caused by relocation out of Loudoun, a change of mind, an off-chance TJ offer, etc. All in all, not much hope left.

Does anyone know the deadline of TJ from waitlist. So many kids decline the original TJ offer so those will be offered to other waitlist kids

[Anonymous]
