[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an eighth grader considering TJ. I was following TJ admissions last year but then lost track after appeals.

Is FCPS still doing the top kids from each middle school?
Will there still be extra weight on if you are free lunch or URM?
Will there be a test this year and when?[/quote]

I heard they were switching to a lottery to end all the bellyaching.[/quote]

Back to the original bad idea. Guess this is what fcps always wanted.

I don’t understand why the top students just can attend the top high school in the country.

I am actually fine with affirmation action. Allocate 10% to URMs but keep the other 90% competitive.[/quote]

The problem is they never figured out who the top students were in the first place. They were simply allowing people to get in by buying the test.[/quote]

The test isn't there. This answer is not helpful for this years thread. [/quote]

It seems on point since PP was claiming the "top kids" based on some test to which people were buying access.[/quote]

No it is not because there is no test for TJ. The discussion is TJ admissions for this year. You have an axe to grind and are stuck on one particular note. Raising the test BS in a topic that doesn't include a test is non-sensical. [/quote]
