[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doing something like residency matching system would be good for AOS/AET/TJ.
I know students who were accepted to AOS/AET but wanted TJ and vice versa.[/quote]
However AOS/AET are not in same league as TJ.[/quote]

TJ has just been around for longer, but they are both in the same league.
Its harder to get into AOS.[/quote]
Not really, an apple to apple comparison.  Just because there's huge demand doesn't mean the AOS/AET curriculum is comprehensive or rigorous. Unlike TJ, Academies of Loudoun by itself doesn’t have a complete high school program, and has no control over whether student enrolls in AP, Honors or General level of english, world language, social studies, and elective science courses at base school. At TJ, every student takes APs not just in Math and  Sciences but also in English, Social Studies, and other humanities subjects.

There are hundreds of selective stem programs like AOS/AET across the US public school systems,  but TJ is only one that gets ranked in top five consistently, for its "rigorous end to end" high school program and top talent it attracts. [/quote]

Irrelevant to my point.  The rigor and breadth of classes is different, but the admissions is not matching that right now.  There are people who get in to TJ that are not as capable and some decline offers.  They would have preferred to go to AOS or AET but were not accepted.  There are people capable of doing well at TJ who are not accepted but instead get into AOS/AET.
A swap here makes perfect sense.[/quote]
