This should not come as a surprise. The Class of 2022 was the first that was admitted under a new battery of tests that the prep complex had not seen yet, resulting in the first-ever decline in the percentage of offers granted to Asian students.

Class of 2021 was 74.9% Asian, having climbed steadily for a whole generation. The Class of 2022 saw the percentage of offers to Asian students plummet to 65.2% before correcting itself in the following two years to 72 and 73% once the prep companies got a hold of the new exam.

The Class of 2022 was the least prep-impacted class in recent TJ history, which explains a lot of why they’re seeing such success in the college admissions process. Just another argument for reducing the impact of the prep industry in TJ admissions.

Nah. There were fewer Asians who were discriminated against in college admissions and more whites who have connections and legacy and URMS who get booster points in college admissions.

Your analysis is deeply flawed if you can even call it an analysis. There are many factors that go into each year's class. There have always been natural fluctuations in the make up of a class. And the colleges also have fluctuations in their admissions. For instance Princeton didn't have EA for 2021. You really can't draw any conclusions.

I should not have used the word "stronger". I was merely reacting 2022's slightly better numbers in MIT, Princeton, Yale(?), and CMU.

But 2021 has 10+ Harvard, and 20+ UChicago. It appears 2021 and 2022 are equally strong.

I doubt this is accurate. If it is, my DC is the unluckiest TJ Senior.

Yes, it's unclear where these numbers are coming from. Is it a school employee posting? Do colleges provide schools with a list of students they accepted? On the internal TJ website where seniors post their results, just about 90 students shared the info, 20% of the class.

At this point, even TJ does not know who got in where. They’ll only know for sure after May 2 onwards till the end of school year when the student petitions the school to send their final HS transcript to the school they will matriculate at. TJ no longer publishes those numbers.

The only semi-accurate count at this point are the private groups that are set up (usually on FB) by the college for admit weekends. If your kid is that cohort, you can see others in the group. Even then, not all kids sign up for those.

Similarly only 60-70% (of the top of my head) of kids will submit their schools for senior edition of TJToday in June.

Why then, would you worry about the unknowable?

UVA is a good school, but it's also the state university. These TJ kids (many of them willingly) give up so much social life to study and work. Meanwhile, their base school friends enjoy a much more balanced life and often end up at better colleges. Watching my two kids, my TJ one is definitely exposed to more and learning more. But, at what cost, I guess. Anyway, we do like TJ. Don't believe everything your read about the school, parents, kids, teachers. There are a lot of good people there and the education is amazing. Just wish they had more security getting into college after the amount of time they put in at TJ.

UVA is a state university. One, there should be no guarantee of admission to a state university upon entering a high school, even a magnet school. Two, there are other good options in state.

TJ grads do not want to attend UVA except for the bottom third grads.

This was true 15-20 years ago and UVA was a common bottom-third destination at that point.

UVA is actually an aspirational school for many TJ students nowadays.

Fewer have been going to UVA. More seem to be going out of state.

They’re not getting in. That’s a huge part of why.

The ones that are getting in aren't going in the same numbers. Kids start to go out of state as TJ gets recruited. They influence the kids that follow. It starts a TJ diaspora.

TJ grads prefer Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Indiana, UCLA, GaTech, CMU, Purdue to UVA.

Wow, you threw Indiana in there!

My kid is TJ class 2021. It’s definitely wrong with 10+ Harvard and 20+ UChicago in 2021. The real numbers are less.

These are the admission numbers so there are overlaps. 2021 has 11 Harvard admits. This year is much lower.

I am blown away by how the tone of this conversation changed literally the second that I pointed out that 2022 was the least-prepped class in history and the least Asian class in a decade.

Y'all pivoted like THAT. *snap*

+1000. This is 100 per cent agenda-driven. There's no limit to the depths of how far these Coalition types will go to damage the reputation of the school.
