The waitlist is not going to move. Each individual child has about a 1-3% chance of getting in off the waitlist.
I truly feel for families and hate FCPS for jerking them around. My child was on the waitlist several years ago and waiting was terrible even though we knew his chances were incredibly good. |

If they give placement # in WL, then easy to guess .. |

| I think they put all 4.0 Geom, 4.0 Alg 2 on WL along with some Alg1 kids who did not get in (not necessarily 4.0 for Alg 1?). For one thing, that's a 1000 fewer people who will be complaining for the time being. How are you people taking the WL seriously? |

I don’t think that they have given placement on the WL? Has anyone called the office and asked for their child’s place? |

TJ Admissions has publicly stated that they will not release a ranking in the wait pool. When students are drawn from the wait pool, many factors will be considered, most importantly whether or not the student is filling a seat that is allocated to a specific middle school. So for example, if six students from Stone MS were offered admission and that is their number of allocated seats by the 1.5% rule, the Admissions Office would offer that seat to the next highest evaluated student from Stone in the wait pool. If there are no students from Stone remaining in the wait pool, that seat would be offered to the highest evaluated student in the wait pool overall as that seat would now become an unallocated seat. I would expect a fair amount of movement in the unallocated list because there are several schools that I cannot imagine will actually meet their number of allocated seats based on historical interest in TJ. |

| They sent an email yesterday stating that they are finalizing first round of waitlist offers and you will be notified in the coming week. Whatever that means. But you will not hear back if you are not given an offer. |

Someone FOIAed this. There are over 1,000 kids on the waitlist. https://www.tjtestprep.com/data |

In prior years, the waitlist was only 50 kids. Why they would give so many kids and their parents false hope is beyond me. It’s just cruel. I’m glad this company was willing to share what they found. |
