They are publicly available on the TJ Vents Facebook page back in August of 2020. I am not going to take the time to pore back through that archive, but if you're looking for the proof (an initial anonymous claim supported by named TJ students from the Curie lists in the comments section), that's where you'll find it.

What is Curie?

Let me clarify what Curie is all about. Curie is a reputable enrichment center that has successfully aided numerous students in developing their middle school English, math, and science skills. Some have gone to enroll at TJ, and many more have continued at base High School and made it to T-20 Universities. However, it's important to note that Curie is not a walk in the park; in fact, more than half of the students end up discontinuing the program before finishing, due to its rigor. Therefore, students should only consider enrolling in Curie if they are truly committed to tackling a challenging and rigorous enrichment program. Additionally, parental commitment is crucial, as Curie requires parents to ensure their children complete homework assignments on time and keep digital screen distractions away.

Thank you for providing detailed information about Curie. I have been reading about Curie for quite some time on this forum. I'll schedule an appointment with them.

The test buying yapping fool has made Curie popular on this forum.

Since over one third of the kids who got into TJ had prepped at Curie. It's safe to say it was already popular.

It hasnt stopped. Curie's success rate for TJ is still the same as it was before test was eliminated, may be more. I wonder, why?

This is false. In the first year of the new admissions process, Curie's number of TJ admits went down from 133 to 91. Honestly, it speaks more to the saturation that they have in the market among South Asian TJ applicants - especially those from Loudoun and western Fairfax.

133 down to 91, while schools outside Curie's market area get automatic quota seats eating into Loudoun's allocation. It's not clear that 133 to 91 is a decline.

Wow so much for the cheating scandal... hahahaha

I mean, it certainly is when you consider that the offer totals went from 480 to 550. 27.7% to 16.5% is a big drop and not necessarily explainable by the introduction of allocated seats. There's no telling how many of those allocated seats went to Curie kids anyways.

The entire point of the anti-Curie crusade, in any case, was to reduce the program's ability to influence the TJ admissions process and crowd out students who either have fewer resources or who - apparently based on the lists published - are not welcome to attend Curie based on their ethnicity. And even if you want to talk about the introduction of those allocated seats as a complicating factor, they quite clearly did have some level of influence on what Curie was able to attain.

Loudoun's admissions to TJ has always been capped by a formula that takes into account the percentage of the total catchment student body of 8th graders are in Loudoun. They have reached that cap for years. Are you certain that they are no longer reaching it?

The 133 number for Curie wasn't fully accurate, anyway, since they had clearly double dipped in their counting by including the kids who were admitted first round but declined admissions as well as the kids then admitted from the waitlist. This is obviously the case, since they listed kids who were admitted to all of TJ, AOS, and AET, and the kid can only attend one and decline the other two.

LCPS always sends around 100 kids to TJ. The 91 kids in the new admissions process are the ones who attended. The 133 in the old are the ones admitted who turned down the spot for AET or AOS, as well as the ones who attended.

Do only kids from Loudoun county attend this particular test prep business or are there students also from Fairfax county?

Used to be half and half, after AOS/AET programs evolved, now it's majority loudoun and same number from fairfax. Essentially it's a math/english rigorous enrichment program, with TJ/AOS/AET as add-ons at tail end.

There are definitely also students from Fairfax County who attend Curie. But it appears to be marketed almost exclusively to South Asians.

This may or may not be true, but you can usually get a good sense from names… and the names that were published on the lists from classes of 2022 to 24 were 100% South Asian in origin.

Maybe. My point is that students in Leesburg aren't going to Curie but they will get quota seats, reducing the number available for the hundreds who go to Curie. Not sure If Sterling kids go. First year of admissions I heard of someone in Loudoun Valley moving from Stone Hill to Hamilton to try and get a quota seat.

They don't publish the list of who takes the classes.
