You know they repealed affirmative action, right?

Exactly, and now that TJ selection is based on actual merit instead of whether your parents could afford elite prep, things are better than ever.

They've reduced merit by eliminating the SHSAT.
Whether you think testing should play a large role, the notion that it should play no role can only be held by someone who doesn't actually care about academic merit or doesn't understand testing.

You mean they reduced reliance on the QuantQ because more affluent families were buying access to extensive question banks which unfairly skewed selection in the favor of a few wealthy schools.

If the lie “affluent families are buying access to question banks” helps you sleep better at night, go ahead and cling to it. How about getting a real job, working harder, getting involved and motivating your kids, so they too can attend not “wealthy schools” but academically excellent schools. Trying is better than whining.

My role as activist might be seen as whining, if that’s how you want to put it! I am an activist, a TJ alumnus, and Asian as well. However, I truly want to see more diversity at TJ, in whatever form it takes. I recognize that this challenges the traditional Asian cultural emphasis on education above all else. Still, without the stability of family support and parental commitment, Asian students would be just like students from other ethnic backgrounds. Don’t you agree?

LOL you're not an activist, you're a liar.

No one that has been paying attention thinks that this wasn't motivated by race.

And it's hard to believe that you are an asian TJ alum.
I know plenty of asian TJ alums that are extremely woke but none of them would make the claim that asian kids cheated their way into TJ.
None of them would conflate studying with cheating.
Their wokeness manifests itself in the form of charity for URM.

You are lying. PP never conflated studying with cheating.

Many TJ students acknowledge the advantages that test prep courses give the kids whose families can afford them.

Yes, what you call test prep is actually studying.

The prepvious PP frequently conflates studying with cheating.
The previous PP frequently makes false claim about people buying the test, the answers or both.
The previous PP lies about the race driven conversation that resulted in the current admissions process.
In short, the previous PP is a liar.

More fiction.

We all know that kids who attend test prep programs and have access to prior test questions have an unfair advantage that their parents bought for them.

Working hard is not an unfair advantage. Being present for your kids is not an unfair advantage. Stop whining about someone else's success from your couch while refusing to lift a finger. Don’t justify your entitlement by accusing life is unfair. If you can't keep up, work harder!

No one disagrees with this. The people who are whining are YOU, because you lost.

There is a difference between "studying hard" and "paying a lot of money for bespoke prep services designed to keep poor kids out of select educational opportunities".

You know what Frederick Douglass, Oprah Winfrey, and Malala Yousafzai have in common? None of them need you to tell them they’re not enough. They believed in their own worth and individual agency, and they worked hard to earn their greatness, even when no one was “paying a lot of money” for them.

You should tell your kids, “You are so enough; you have greatness in you; you're not limited by your circumstances". If you do this, I wouldn’t mind losing to you. Until then, I won’t.

So you are speaking for black people now?

Sit TF down.

No, I am not. I didn’t even have a color in mind when citing these great people. This post, unfortunately, speaks for yourself. Change starts from within. Focus on more civility in your home rather than worrying about how I spend my own money for my own children.

Frederick Douglass? Oprah Winfrey?

You are a pathetic liar.

Being stuck in a posture of inferiority is a choice. Your language is forgiven.

I guess when you realize that you have no valid argument you resort to lies.

The biggest lie is your entitlement is based on your color. Period.

I've already said that my kids are not entitled to seats.

Come back when you can make a point without lying.

Many people may find it difficult to accept what FCPS is clearly communicating through both their actions and published data about Asian American students.

FCPS proudly issues a TJ admissions news release each year that highlights the overwhelming talent of Asian students who qualify for the rigor of TJ. According to FCPS school profiles, Asian students are among the hardest working, and schools with a high percentage of Asian students tend to rank higher.

Even with the current racially influenced admissions process, FCPS demonstrates that to form a TJ class capable of meeting the required rigor, a minimum of 300+ Asian students is essential, as that’s where the advanced STEM talent lies. As FCPS excluded Asian applicants from the 100 seat expansion quota, the representation of non-Asian groups increased, along with a significant rise in the lowest level Math 1 enrollment, from 17 the previous year to over 120+ immediately after admission change.

You can whine all you want falsely labeling Asian students as prepping, test buying, wealthy feeders, tiger parenting, etc... but that is not how FCPS views their advanced stem talent.

[Anonymous]

From another thread, that has accurate data showing lowered math rigor with increased non-asian enrollment:


"TJHSST Class of 2025 admitted seven times as many students with minimal math level required to apply, and almost halved the proportion of students with the highest math level.

Compared to previous years, there is a huge leap in the number of students taking Algebra 1 rather than higher level math. There were 161 students admitted who only had taken Algebra 1. In previous years, that number has been about 20 students; 22 admitted students in Class of 2024 and 21 admitted students in Class of 2023 had only had Algebra 1. "

It's a race blind process.

No one except you is lying. Your own data chart shows the Asian applicants were excluded from the 100 seat expansion quota, which makes it a race aware process.

Ain't coming back to someone who can't engage in reasoned discourse without labeling everyone else as lying. Enjoy your dark corner of grievance.

There is no mechanism for excluding kids by race.

Thanks for proving my point.

I've continually provided reason/facts/data. The only responses to that have been lies and disgusting racist remarks.

The process was engineered to achieve racially driven results.

Well, if you have any evidence of this, you should take it to court because that's highly illegal in this country and you'd win millions! Too bad conspiracy theories aren't evidence...

My 8th grader says he wants to apply. I'm seeing ads for test prep companies, and not sure if they'd actually be useful or not?

Well yes and no.

If your kid goes into the test cold, they will not have a good feel for the timing and pace. A LOT of kids do not finish the test in the allotted time. Finishing the test improves your chances vs having a great answer on the first essay and then rushing through everything else. So yes practicing probably helps but it's not like you should practice a bunch of math so you can do the better on the math sections, there is one math essay and it is very easy.

Some of the posters are still bitter since they can't buy access to the question banks the prep centers had compiled to give wealthy families an advantage and will just post half-truths. This is probably the best answer you're going to get.

Well, at least you are no longer lying about students buying the actual test answers.

Before Quant Q was implemented to "eliminate" test prep, anyone with $20 and an amazon account could get access to prior test questions of the SHSAT. Without an actual test, you basically get a modified cross section of the applicant pool.

S/o- I looked SHSAR up bc didn’t know what was and a rabbit hole later find one of the specialized NY schools can apply to if take that test is film and tv HS- too cool (at least on paper)!
https://myschools.nyc/en/schools/high-school/?dbn=30Q301

Wait what? Kids did buy access to question banks that contained actual questions.

It was engineered to give access to kids across the county, from all middle schools.

Asian students weren’t negatively impacted. There are still just as many Asian students at TJ today.
