[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a data driven “Experience Factor?”  How does a UMC kid in Fairfax who had faced no adversity get this factor?[/quote]

Well, one prep center is advising parents how how to get an experimacs factor. Have parents separate and mom (Sahm) gets full custody and bam! Low income. Or lie in FARMS.  Move to another middle school.

Getting an IEP/504 is actually harder than it seems, so that one doesn’t see to be as easy to game. [/quote]

I doubt many would do that. But then again I never would have thought so many families would send their kids to actual prep centers starting in elementary school.

Still, I think this is a step forward. [b]And if cheaters cannot control themselves TJ is just going to close.[/b] [/quote]

This. I'm not sure the cheater care, though. If they can't game the system, then burn it all down. They will still live in the better-resourced pyramids, so it's a win-win for them. [/quote]

On another thread, multiple people discussed how Curie got 90 seats in the class of 2025.  This is down from 133 in the class of 2024, but still incredibly high.  I truly think there are many parents that will do anything to make TJ happen for their kids.  [/quote]

It's about what I'd expect. The admission changes weren't drastic and will have a minor impact. [/quote]
