They got 133 in 2024 and 93 in 2025.

Curie's having 93 out of 550 seats, suggests either Fairfax didn't eliminate the preppability of admissions, or that Curie was getting a lot of students who were going to get in anyways.

What it actually means is that Curie is relatively ubiquitous among the South Asian community in Western Fairfax and Loudoun counties. If a South Asian student gets into TJ from that part of the county, there's a pretty strong chance (although it isn't 100%) that that student is a Curie product.

In each case, either the student would have gotten in anyway (which means the parents wasted their money) or the student nudged out someone else (which is why people use the "pay-to-play" term that everyone seems to hate so much).

Real pay to play is the "Varsity Blues" cases not prepping.

Remember that Varsity Blues wasn't just fake sports. It was also kids being provided with test answers, in the case of the fraudulent SAT testing protocols. That's actually a one-to-one comparison with the recent TJ scandal of kids at prep centers getting the answers ahead of time.

Such absolute lies, It is very much people like you who also attacked the capitol and killed people saying the elections were fake.

I read postings where multiple current TJ students discussed seeing the Quant Q questions ahead of time. One that comes to mind is TJ Vents on Facebook during the summer of 2020.

Were all those kids lying? I’m inclined to believe the children when they said they saw those questions ahead of time. Curie got 50 kids in the class of 2022, 80 in the class of 2023 and 120 on the Class of 2024.

What prevents them from sharing qs for this essay type questions? Or send people to home to answer the unmonitored tests? Do you have the number of students who got through for 2025 and 2026?

Students and parents sign a pledge that they will not share or discuss the questions. (Yeah, that is really the plan of the TJ Admissions office. sigh.)

For 2025, I read on this board that 90 kids were admitted. No clue yet on 2026.

Curie self-reported admissions statistics:

Class of 2024: 133/486 offers = 27.3% of incoming class

Class of 2025: 90/550 offers = 16.4% of incoming class

It's like more discrimination sprinkled on a discrimination sundae. Check this groups free lunch, but not the others. Sure hope that works out well in potential litigation.

They are trying to reduce bad behavior (cheating) and neutralize strategies (prepping) that will give affluent families a huge advantage. There is a whole industry dedicated to giving affluent families a leg up. There will never truly be a level playing field for all kids but by changing the admission process they are knocking down the inequities a bit.

Excellent point. Dr. Rao has made an unbelievable fortune out of convincing insecure Indian families that his product was necessary to optimize a student's chances at admission to TJ.

Nope. The MAGAs are behind the C4TJ lies.

No doubt many of them are in the MAGA crowd, but C4TJ is just a front for the prep centers who stand to loose 8-9 figures of income because of these changes.

In this world people have to choose between only two options, believe in fake election or allow unmonitored essay writing competition for artificial social engineering (which is no different than using bleach to cure covid)

Even though your statement is a gross oversimplification, it does highlight one piece of political wisdom.

The current Republican/MAGA party is a coalition of single-issue groups who can be swindled into thinking that their single issue is more important than the rest of society as a whole.

It is a poverty that they're having success convincing Asians that protecting a small sliver of admissions spaces at a small sliver of schools (which they have no intention of doing anyway) is more important than their relentless efforts to drive wealth upwards and destroy the middle class.

For a group that proclaims themselves more intelligent and educated than the rest of America, you sure are a useful group of fools.

So better to eliminate elections because there are a few instances of fraud?

Throw the book at Curie. Make them pay through the nose and if there is any evidence of fraud, lock up everyone responsible.

FCPS side, you can make tests that do not repeat the same questions every year. I heard there are tests like that.

There is no need to eliminate teacher recommendations. There is none. No justification. But FCPS did that.

I can also point to one clear case of fraudulent admission to TJ in the class of 2025. Teacher recommendation would have 100% caught that case. I know because the science teacher recommendation letter that they would have had to provide would be a ding.

But woke social justice warriors - the exact equivalent of Trump nut job bleach drinking retard supporters, wanted to jump on Floyd wagon and promote their agenda.

This is how you get a liberal left wing supporter to contribute and vote for Trump.

There are SAT sample questions at SAT prep classes! Maybe TJ should have put some work to put together a test with non-standard math questions...

It is so sad that such false equivalences and bad faith are being employed to pull down kids who are doing math. to favor kids who don't do the work but want to write essays. truly counterproductive for society.

This was literally the entire point of the Quant-Q. The Quant-Q is an entire exam filled with non-standard math questions that are designed to test a student's native problem-solving ability against questions that they've never seen before. It was also a secured exam that both proctors and students were required to sign an NDA for after having seen it.

It became less than useless - and indeed a confounding variable in the admissions process - when, as reported by multiple TJ students, kids memorized the questions, brought them back to Curie, and allowed Curie to create a bank of questions to inform their $5K/year prep classes.

Curie didn't do anything illegal - a few enterprising 8th graders who probably wanted to help their little brothers or sisters did. For this reason, there isn't any value in a potential investigation. But the bottom line is that Curie killed their golden goose and indirectly impacted hundreds, if not thousands, of Indian families in the process.

Never mind the damage they did to their community by releasing the lists of first and last names of the students who were admitted - and identified many of them as Loudoun County residents by indicating that they were also admitted to AOS and AET.

If you ever needed evidence that Dr. Rao was in this solely to make an easy buck off of Indian families (because remember, literally 100% of Curie TJ/AOS/AET admits are South Asian), that was it. He used them to sell his program and made millions as a result.

You are the fool if Dems will do any of what you state to be important. Both parties are essentially same save for few social issues that are designed to distract the down and out so that they may not notice the swindle that is taking place.

Quant Q by your definition is standardized. Just like SAT. Rediitt has hundreds of students sharing SAT questions after they attend the exam and prep centers help here too.
So my point remains. TJ could have come up with non-standardized tests with all the millions at their disposal.

I guess this is why tests like the SAT have fallen in disfavor with so many colleges and universities. Sharing the test answers for the Quant-Q was a big problem and gave those who could afford to purchase them a big advantage for opportunities at PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

You are the exact woke equivalent of "Republican/MAGA party is a coalition of single-issue groups who can be swindled into thinking that their single issue is more important than the rest of society as a whole".

You are just as dumb as those on the right. Except you feel superior to them.

All you can think of is a single issue "diversity, equity and inclusion" above everything else. Everything is from this perspective.

Take medical education. From WSJ:

Aspiring doctors will have to become fluent in woke concepts such as “intersectionality,” which the Association of American Medical Colleges defines as “overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination that communities face based on race, gender, ethnicity, ability, etc.” Learning about mRNA technology or the latest treatment for melanoma take a back seat to new theories of cultural appropriation.

[Anonymous]

So many woke Democrats look down their noses at Trump supporters. And they begin to believe the same exact nonsense from the left about "diversity, equity and inclusion" and ESG.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Left wing woke retards however seem to believe somehow they are superior.

I guess this is why tests like the SAT have fallen in disfavor with so many colleges and universities. Sharing the test answers for the Quant-Q was a big problem and gave those who could afford to purchase them a big advantage for opportunities at PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I agree. That's why TJ should have taken the path of coming up with an actual test that is not standard. They didn't do that because Asians would have ended up doing well there too and they couldn't have got their delicate white kids in under the guise of equity/quota politics.

They got 133 in 2024 and 93 in 2025.

Curie's having 93 out of 550 seats, suggests either Fairfax didn't eliminate the preppability of admissions, or that Curie was getting a lot of students who were going to get in anyways.

What it actually means is that Curie is relatively ubiquitous among the South Asian community in Western Fairfax and Loudoun counties. If a South Asian student gets into TJ from that part of the county, there's a pretty strong chance (although it isn't 100%) that that student is a Curie product.

In each case, either the student would have gotten in anyway (which means the parents wasted their money) or the student nudged out someone else (which is why people use the "pay-to-play" term that everyone seems to hate so much).

Real pay to play is the "Varsity Blues" cases not prepping.

Remember that Varsity Blues wasn't just fake sports. It was also kids being provided with test answers, in the case of the fraudulent SAT testing protocols. That's actually a one-to-one comparison with the recent TJ scandal of kids at prep centers getting the answers ahead of time.

Such absolute lies, It is very much people like you who also attacked the capitol and killed people saying the elections were fake.

I read postings where multiple current TJ students discussed seeing the Quant Q questions ahead of time. One that comes to mind is TJ Vents on Facebook during the summer of 2020.

Were all those kids lying? I’m inclined to believe the children when they said they saw those questions ahead of time. Curie got 50 kids in the class of 2022, 80 in the class of 2023 and 120 on the Class of 2024.

So better to eliminate elections because there are a few instances of fraud?

Throw the book at Curie. Make them pay through the nose and if there is any evidence of fraud, lock up everyone responsible.

FCPS side, you can make tests that do not repeat the same questions every year. I heard there are tests like that.

There is no need to eliminate teacher recommendations. There is none. No justification. But FCPS did that.

I can also point to one clear case of fraudulent admission to TJ in the class of 2025. Teacher recommendation would have 100% caught that case. I know because the science teacher recommendation letter that they would have had to provide would be a ding.

But woke social justice warriors - the exact equivalent of Trump nut job bleach drinking retard supporters, wanted to jump on Floyd wagon and promote their agenda.

This is how you get a liberal left wing supporter to contribute and vote for Trump.

There are SAT sample questions at SAT prep classes! Maybe TJ should have put some work to put together a test with non-standard math questions...

It is so sad that such false equivalences and bad faith are being employed to pull down kids who are doing math. to favor kids who don't do the work but want to write essays. truly counterproductive for society.

This was literally the entire point of the Quant-Q. The Quant-Q is an entire exam filled with non-standard math questions that are designed to test a student's native problem-solving ability against questions that they've never seen before. It was also a secured exam that both proctors and students were required to sign an NDA for after having seen it.

It became less than useless - and indeed a confounding variable in the admissions process - when, as reported by multiple TJ students, kids memorized the questions, brought them back to Curie, and allowed Curie to create a bank of questions to inform their $5K/year prep classes.

Curie didn't do anything illegal - a few enterprising 8th graders who probably wanted to help their little brothers or sisters did. For this reason, there isn't any value in a potential investigation. But the bottom line is that Curie killed their golden goose and indirectly impacted hundreds, if not thousands, of Indian families in the process.

Never mind the damage they did to their community by releasing the lists of first and last names of the students who were admitted - and identified many of them as Loudoun County residents by indicating that they were also admitted to AOS and AET.

If you ever needed evidence that Dr. Rao was in this solely to make an easy buck off of Indian families (because remember, literally 100% of Curie TJ/AOS/AET admits are South Asian), that was it. He used them to sell his program and made millions as a result.

I guess this pay to play scheme for TJ admissions is the FCPS equivalent of Varsity Blues as one poster keeps pointing out.

Nope. The MAGAs are behind the C4TJ lies.

No doubt many of them are in the MAGA crowd, but C4TJ is just a front for the prep centers who stand to loose 8-9 figures of income because of these changes.

In this world people have to choose between only two options, believe in fake election or allow unmonitored essay writing competition for artificial social engineering (which is no different than using bleach to cure covid)

Even though your statement is a gross oversimplification, it does highlight one piece of political wisdom.

The current Republican/MAGA party is a coalition of single-issue groups who can be swindled into thinking that their single issue is more important than the rest of society as a whole.

It is a poverty that they're having success convincing Asians that protecting a small sliver of admissions spaces at a small sliver of schools (which they have no intention of doing anyway) is more important than their relentless efforts to drive wealth upwards and destroy the middle class.

For a group that proclaims themselves more intelligent and educated than the rest of America, you sure are a useful group of fools.

The Democrats on the current FCPS School Board could not be much worse.

You have Karl Frisch, who wasted county money on an unnecessary renovation at Dunn Loring ES in order to save a dog park his friends wanted to preserve.

You have Karen Corbett Sanders, who championed spending $40 million to expand West Potomac HS so kids in her district wouldn't have to attend Mount Vernon HS.

You have Abrar Omeish, who got into a confrontation with a police officer over a routine traffic stop, and then wasted even more county resources by forcing the county to defend a frivolous lawsuit.

You have Elaine Tholen, who threw McLean HS under the bus and refused to add any diversity to her 2% FARMS Langley HS.

You have Karen Keys Gamarra, who as an at-large member ignores almost every school in FCPS but acts like a "social justice" Academy at Lewis HS will be the cure for all evils.

You have Stella Pekarsky, who does nothing for overcrowded Chantilly HS even as it approaches 2900 kids in a building designed for far fewer students.

You have Melanie Meren, who once asserted that she had a special affinity for Asian culture because she went to a Benihana restaurant as a child.

And you have Laura Jane Cohen and the others who went along with making radical admissions changes at TJ a top priority at FCPS in the middle of a pandemic.

You can keep whining about MAGA as if repeating the magic syllables will protect them, but it's not going to stop people from doing their best to unseat these incompetent, preening, hypocritical clowns next year.

The current meaningless essay exam is nothing short of what is meant by MAGA. The test without placing importance on skill necessary to do well in science and maths, puts emphasis on confirming to woke-maga idea of America.
