[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]data wise, seems less than 250 students in the graph, that's less than half of graduating class. But still interesting data to look at. [/quote]

It would be good to know what %ge of the T20 is missing vs. the rest. I would think 20:80 % ratio (T20 vs Others) for the remaining 250+ would be a good guesstimate knowing most of the T20 admits are the same students and they only get to select one of the many T20s they get admitted in[/quote]

It won't affect you so why do you care?[/quote]

Why do you care that people are talking about this?
5 years ago FCPS changed the admissions criteria to admit a more racially diverse freshman class and abandoned standardized testing, recommendations and relaxed the math requirement.
That class is starting college this year and it seems pretty clear that there are not nearly as many kids going to top colleges (the kind that fully funds financial need) as there used to be.
The only reason you don't want people to talk about this is so that they are not reminded how the effort to achieve racial diversity came at a significant cost.[/quote]

Before the admissions change we had <1% of the class from economically-disadvantaged families. It was ridiculous that kids who didn’t attend one of the wealthy feeder schools had almost no chance of being admitted. It had to change.

We don’t have the full matriculation data. You are guessing on patterns.

Only a limited number of top colleges fully fund financial aid. Cost is much of a factor for TJ grads.
