The class of 2025 is at least 60% Asian. Don't you all have better things to do with your time than rehash this over and over again? |
The initial offers were 54% Asian. |
That would mean at least 20% of non-Asians declined admittance. |

My niece turned it down because she wanted to attend a more diverse high school. |
That sounds made up. What middle school is she from and what high school is she going to? |
It's exactly what she said. I was surprised too. I mean I'd understand if she had said it was a toxic pressure cooker but she didn't say that. In the end, she felt he'd better served at her home school which Langley. |
So she picked the one high school in FCPS that has fewer Black kids than TJ. Well done. |
lol. So obviously it wasn't for diversity. Sounds like just the opposite. She is a racist that doesn't want to be in a school full of Asians. |
Wow. Can't tell if you're trolling or serious. If serious, it's amazing how people feel free to attack without reservation... |
I guess TJ is overwhelmingly Asian so may be the least diverse school in the county. |
Well, my niece is Asian. I just thought it was curious. For all I know she made this claim to justify staying with her friends, but it's also possible she felt this way I guess. |
What is the male vs female acceptance rate? I wonder if girls are rejecting because they don't want to be thought of as nerdy. |
Of course not, there’s nothing wrong with doing academic things outside of school but I do think the prep wars created incentives for these kinds of programs that aren’t necessarily in the best interests of kids. Some kids are just really into this stuff and a lot are pushed to be competitive with the other kids that are being pushed. I’m also not a fan of the changed admissions policy. It’s a very complex issue. |
If you can't take the heat, get out the kitchen. Sounds like your niece knew she couldn't cut it at TJ. Nothing to be embarrassed about. She made up a story that was palatable for the family. Move on. |
