My son is joining AOS as part of the incoming freshman this year, so I will add some comments from I have seen so far.

Btw, excellent discussion here with valuable feedback about TJ/AOS/AET/MATA, especially to the AOS student describing details about AOS education/environment (post 5/7/17 18:43). I wish someone had posted a part of this information a year ago or so. Also thanks to PP for mentioning "thinking ahead 3 years" for SIS questions. That gives enough time to a student to build a STEM-based profile (or to figure out what part of STEM the student has interest on, or even any part of it.)

We already got a feeling from Freshman orientation that AOS will be an excellent experience for my son (small class, high interaction with teachers, 2 yr's of research study based on student's interest, etc). The 1:1 "advisory" service is unique to AOS, where the advisory teacher actually comes to student's "home" in the summer, as already mentioned here before.

Regarding the preparation, I can add what my kid has done differently than many of his peers. He didn't go to one of those 18 month long prep courses, rather he was studying at home but still getting ahead 2-3 years with various Math and technology competitions (eventually competing in national and international level).
