^^ This is from last year.  The admissions process was (slightly) altered for the FY 2013 incoming class. I have not seen a break-out of the incoming class yet. My guess is that there will be a change in demographics.[/quote]

Change in the process this year:

[quote]The Student Information Sheet

Logistics

All semifinalists must complete the Student Information Sheet (SIS) portion of the admissions process.  New this year, the Student Information Sheet, or SIS, will be administered in a controlled setting at fifteen school sites (12 in Fairfax County and one each in Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince William counties).  Click here for a listing of school sites.  Semifinalists will complete the SIS at the same site they were assigned to take the December 2012 admissions test.

The SIS will be administered on Saturday, January 26, 2013 beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 10:30 a.m.*  In the event there is inclement weather which will result in the closure of school buildings on January 26, the SIS will be completed on Saturday, February 2.  Click here for alternate dates for religious or other reasons.

Semifinalists will complete three questions for the SIS on computers at their designated site.  Semifinalists will have 90 minutes to complete all SIS questions.  Each question is designed to learn about a semifinalist’s prior experiences, goals, and interests.  The first two questions are mandatory for all semifinalists to answer.   Semifinalists must then choose between two options for the third question.  All responses must be completed within the space provided.

On the SIS administration day, students will receive one piece of scratch paper.  They must bring two ball point pens, blue or black ink, for thoughts noted on the scratch paper and to sign the printed SIS form.  They cannot bring any extra materials to the test.

The SIS will be considered along with teacher recommendations, essay scores, math admissions test score, and math/science marks to determine the Class of 2017 at TJHSST. For more information on the final decisions process, click here. [/quote][/quote]
