[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The holistic review sounds more fair, but it depends upon the weight given to the various factors. Also, I can imagine there will be at least 4k-5k applicants. How are they going to conduct a meaningful holistic review on that many applications in such a short time period? I can imagine a lot of subjectivity will be involved. [/quote] That's why standardized tests are the rational approach for anything done on a large scale. It's impossible to be objective with this many applicants, the types of criteria proposed, and the number of reviewers that this undertaking will require. TJ is toast. It's better to just stay at your base school (assuming it's one of the good ones). FCPS is on a slippery slope to the bottom. [/quote]
