[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curie results for 2026?

They got 133 in 2024 and 93 in 2025.  [/quote]

Curie's having 93 out of 550 seats, suggests either Fairfax didn't eliminate the preppability of admissions, or that Curie was getting a lot of students who were going to get in anyways.[/quote]

One parent estimated that Curie had at least 100 up to 120 in the class of 2026.  Hard to know exactly who is still on after a few were removed due to the meals questions.

Another prep company (TJ Prep) claims that 85% of the kids that completed their program were admitted in the class of 2026.

The “reforms” did NOTHING to remove the incentives of prep. If your child is truly interested, you should likely enroll them in a prep center to give them a fighting chance. [/quote]

If anything, the reforms made it easier to prep.  In the old system, teacher recommendations were largely immune to prep.  Prep can only get you so far for high level STEM EC achievements.  There are also limits on how well your score could be improved through prep on the old TJ tests.  It's much easier to prep kids for earning high marks on the relatively brief, relatively simple problem solving essay.  It's also pretty easy to anticipate the types of things that will be asked in the SES, and then help kids tailor their responses.  [/quote]
