[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the 2022 USAJMO qualifiers are from TJ. One is from Langley, One is from Mclean. I assume both of these kids were denied TJ admissions during these last two years' holistic process?[/quote]

How do you know that they applied? Has it crossed your mind that there might be kids who are strong in STEM who are not interested in TJ? [/quote]
Kids who are strong at STEM?  Sure.  Kids who are among the top 250 mathematicians from grades 6-10 in the entire country?  No way.  For kids at that level, math is their life.  They would be desperate to join the nationally renowned TJ math team and have access to all of the TJ post-calculus math courses.  It's not reasonable to assume that JMO qualifiers simply may not have been interested in TJ.   It is also the case that there's nothing in the current application to call attention to elite achievements or even give any preference for kids with those achievements.  If the kids couldn't work it into their essays, or the reviewer didn't understand what it means to be a JMO qualifier, it's highly likely that any of these kids could have been leapfrogged by a bunch of kids who are above average good students who wrote pretty essays.
