Or pretending to use experience factors. They are using a question that every student can answer yes and get those experience factors.
They just want to be seen as taking more low-income kids, knowing that they are just taking high-income kids who checked the box.

+1. The free meals question should have been thrown out.

I heard they checked this and disqualified anyone who lied.

The way it was worded everyone could have answered yes. It would be easy enough to verify.

Not really people knew they were lying and should be disqualified if they answered yes when financially they don’t qualify.

OR

THE TJ ADMISSIONS OFFICE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HOW TO WRITE THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS.

Seriously. Did they not have ANYONE with half a brain read the meals questions ahead of time?

I was wondering if the question was purposely worded the way it was. That way the admissions office could claim “economic diversity” wink wink nod nod.

I’ve wondered this as well. Would not surprise me. It was pointed out to the admissions office and they choose not to fix or address it.

Wasn't lunch free for everyone?

Yes. The question is more appropriate for years were lunch isn't free for everyone because it identifies kids who have been at an economic disadvantage and less likely to have had some of the extra curriculars that other kids have done. COVID funds have been used to make lunch free for everyone so some people felt they were being clever by saying that they qualified for free meals. It wasn't a lie, because everyone was eligible for free meals, but it is not what the admissions people were looking for. Legally allowable, ethically questionable but some folks don't care because they see it as a way of increasing their chance to be selected for TJ and that is all that matters to them. Because the TJ Admissions folks won't see through that BS when they are looking at the candidates from MS that feed into the high SES high schools and see that the number of kids "eligible for free meals" applying for TJ is far higher then the number of FARMS kids attending those MS.

Exactly. If you ask better questions, you get better data. That's how it works.

If the TJ Admissions office is going to give 90 experience points, they should actually write a question that everyone agrees on how it should be answered.

For the class of 2025, 387 applicants checked "Yes" to one or both of the meals questions. Of those applicants, 35.7% (n=138) were admitted. There were 2,647 applicants that did not check "Yes" to either question. Of these applicants, 15.6% (n=412) were admitted. Checking "Yes" to the meals questions gives a tremendous advantage.

How many said “yes” that they were actively receiving free meals? The second question.

I wonder what the second question is actually asking. What consistututes currently receiving meals? That you picked up the free meal once this school year? You pick them up one or more times a week?

Another example of how the TJ Admissions office wrote terrible questions to evaluate "economically disadvantaged".

From the application:
"Are you eligible for free meals? Yes No

Are you currently receiving free meals? Yes No"

I would assume sometime recently - within the last month or so.

That is your assumption. Someone else could read it entirely different. There are multiple ways to interpret the meals questions. That’s why so many people are angry at the TJ admissions office.

Ok. So maybe families were receiving meals a few months ago.

So what?

If TJ really cared it would be easy enough to get FARMS info from the schools. They had to request GPA records from the schools. Instead they put a vague question on the application.

I guess everyone knows by now that TJ admission results are out. My child was accepted, but so far everyone we know was waitlisted. We are from Loudoun.

They do this. They also have all of the other demographic information from the respective public schools as well. They have less of it from the private schools - hence the need for the questions.

That’s good to hear. So the claims that some FCPS parents gave their kids an edge by answering “yes” on the free lunch question (when their income was above the free lunch threshold in a normal non-COVID year) aren’t true. Phew.

How does this poster know what they are doing?

It’s public knowledge. The TJ Admissions Office is a department of FCPS and their office is in the Gatehouse building. They actually have no connection to the school whatsoever. They have access to all of the student data for all FCPS students through FCPS, and they get the rest of it from the participating school districts because they have an agreement to do so.

The whole “self-reporting FARMS” thing pushed by the C4TJ goobers is garbage. The only people who could POSSIBLY get away with that are private school kids, and that strains credibility because of the nature of private schools.

Not understanding how this works is a good reason why most of us don’t pay any attention to the goobers.

Loudoun County paid for about 100 spots even though more wants to come. So 100 will be commuting.
