Either you are lying or TJ admissions office is, when they claim "Admissions evaluators/reviewers do not know the ... school ... of applicants." |
DP. The school comes into play at some point. They have a certain # of seats allocated for each MS. |
Just like student race? |
You know there is a minimum quota per school, right? |
To be fair, it is race blind but they use a lot of proxies for race like SES, geography, ELL. |
And the biggest beneficiaries is low income Asian. |
There are fewer asians now under the new system. The objectively biggest beneficiaries are white kids. It stands to reason because Fairfax is largely white so a lot random selection process is going to select more white kids. |
They select from the kids who apply, and Asian kids apply at a far higher rate than any other demographic. TJ has a far larger percentage of Asian kids attending then FCPS has as a percentage of the population. |
In 2010 and before Asian is around 35%. In 2015 Asian is about 50s%, between 2015 till covid Asian skyrocketed till 70% and up ( also this the same era with booming prep). Then some people here claimed that TJ is historically belong to Asian. Well well… |
They don't know. It's a blind application. That's the law. The poster is delusional and likes to make up these stories because they feel aggrieved. |
It's been repeatedly shown here that Asian enrollment at TJ is currently at a historic high. In fact, the largest beneficiary of the selection change were low income Asians. |
They use FARMs/ESL as proxies for race. |
Yes, it gives an advantage to those disadvantaged kids who managed to be at the top of their school despite low-income etc. |
|
Correct. They refer to the proxies as “experience factors.” But the goal is to manipulate the racial makeup of the school. |
