[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a rising 7th grader, will be in Algebra 1 and is generally a strong student. He will apply for TJ but if not accepted then he will be equally happy at McLean HS as well.

I am just trying to gauge realistic chances, I googled and it said 62 kids but then on this board someone mentioned 42, I would appreciate if someone can share the correct number. TIA![/quote]

Seems like Longfellow kids have some of the best odds of any school![/quote]

No... quite literally the exact opposite. If one takes a randomly chosen applicant from the FCPS pool, applying from Longfellow is one of the worst odds as there is a very, very small chance the applicant would fall in the top 1.5%. Take a randomly chosen applicant and send them from Poe MS, then there is a higher probability that they would fall into the top 1.5% of reserved seats.[/quote]
You do realize that way more than 1.5% are accepted from Longfellow, don't you? Look at the above numbers.. at least 42 (or 62) were accepted from Longfellow, vastly more than 1.5%! The percentage acceptance rates are definitely one of the strongest indicators; there's a reason housing prices near the school (and its elementary school neighbor) are annoyingly expensive.[/quote]

The post above says 37 students were accepted from Longfellow last year.  This means the 38th highest ranked did not get in(excluding those who turned down a spot).  It is possible this student and some more Longfellow students would be in the top 1.5% at some other schools.[/quote]
