[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least 4 or 5 accepted to MIT this year. 
TJ did very well with Ivy acceptances in RD this year. [/quote]

Here is what the acceptances spreadsheet that the kids are keeping says.  Take it with a gain of salt

MIT: 7
Harvard: 9
Caltech: 4
Princeton:2
Yale: 4[/quote]

The Harvard and MIT numbers seem high[/quote]

This is probably the strongest class in decades, mostly because of the improved selection process that cracked down on cheating and focused on identifying talent.[/quote]

I am a different poster. That is not a fake news. That is just an opinion, same with your opinion just on the opposite side.
The thing is, TJ admission has change and there is pros and cons with the change. 
If you hope that TJ will back to the old system test admissions I think that is not going to happen, that boat has sailed. 
Look into the colleges admissions system now, I started to think that TJ is mirroring them, they are almost all holistic approach. Colleges, are not using a single test to determine the acceptance, and they are not even considering perfect SAT and GPA as the most important factor, they look at so many aspects. They look for well rounded candidates. 
Even the TJ essay that people here heavily mocked as “sob story” that was actually used also in colleges admissions process and that is a big factor.[/quote]

And yet many of those colleges include a standardized test in their holistic approach.

And frankly this year's admissions numbers are underwhelming [/quote]

That's ok, it'll become the same as other FCPS HS, there's no point for some kids are interested in advanced STEAM, not fair. [/quote]
