2025 - TJ Admission Results Thread

[Anonymous]

Anybody knows about APS admission status and how kids do there? They usually have 20+ kids every year from the 6 MS combined (so 3-4 each school) but seems most kids are not on Algebra 2 track.

At least two people posted about kids admitted from APS, it might have been 3, you can go check the first 3-4 pages of the thread.

change from Class of 2028 offers in parenthesis

Carson continues to impress, as the only school standing "on par" with Longfellow, when Cooper usually holds that spot in the urban myth...

Carson has 709 8th graders and pulls students from other middle schools for AAP. Cooper has 518 8th graders and only has AAP students in the Langley Pyramid.

Carson has an interesting feeder system. While their are more AAP kids that transfer in, the base schools are less TJ focused. Coates, McNair, and Fox Mill don't have reputations for being TJ focused, that is not to say that kids don't apply but they tend to be fewer than Crossfield. I am not sure about Floris but I don't hear it mentioned in the same way that the ES feeding into McLean and Langley are mentioned. Carsons numbers would drop if the Navy kids were moved back to Franklin Farm because I am under the impression that Navy and then Oak Hill are the main drivers of the TJ applications and admissions.

I would expect that Longfellow and Cooper would remain were they are because their ES have more of a reputation of caring about TJ then most of the base schools feeding Carson.

This is just flat-out wrong. The Carson AAP families generally are more focused on TJ because the gap between TJ and the base schools is considered larger than the gap between TJ and Langley or McLean.

Just curious - the number of offers per school is not final, pending waitlist movement (e.g., Carson could go above or below 48), so why publish them now?

[Anonymous]

Carson will go above 48 for sure. This is TJ’s way to pat themselves on the back for making offers to all MS. I don’t know if the final numbers are ever published.

It would be interesting to see how many kids applied from each category and then were accepted and the percentages for 2029.

Revealing that would show that the Asian American students acceptance rate is the lowest compared to other race groups. That would be like shooting themselves in the foot.

It would explicitly show the democrats blatant racism against Asian people in Northern Virginia.

Some of the Carson families are but not all. I don’t think the families that go to Oakton are as focused on TJ, although they apply. I know nothing about McNair or Coates but I have never heard people discuss that being an ES AAP that is focused on TJ. I know Fox Mill is not, there are a few kids who will apply but it is not a school wide ambition. Crossfield seems to be in between Fox Mill and Navy, I would guess that the more TJ driven families move to Navy. I know Navy and Oak Hill have more of a reputation for wanting TJ.

That said, the idea that the schools have a larger gap between TJ and the base makes sense.

There will be final revised number at the website.

FALSE.

It shows that Asian students were accepted at a HIGHER rate than most others.

Some groups can claim discrimination based on disparate acceptance rates, but it’s not Asian students.

Everyone: don’t believe PP’s democrat lies.

She and her democrat/progressive allies on the FCPS school board already watered-down TJ admissions and diminished the AAP program. But she will lie to your face about it.

Democrats hate TJ and the AAP program.

Not everyone, basically just one person, he/she might C4TJ who want it to be shine again, he is very quick on every thread repeating the same nonsense about how TJ is a disaster now, and for whom who disagree he will call you racist anti asian affiliated with certain party.
He just unhinged.
Sometimes we just want to entertain it.

Btw, congratulations to your child acceptance!
