[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One point that is willfully being ignored here by the SOL posters: math does not a genius make, not even for TJ entry. If you took algebra, and did well in advanced science classes, etc, why does that make you any less qualified than a geometry student who’s not great at other topics? From what I can see from the actual FCPS stats, GPA for admitted students has gone up (not down). And TJ has literally greater than 10x the number of students qualifying as national merit semi finalists than any other school in FCPS. Are we really to believe that this is a terribly dumbed down school in this new world? This reeks of sour grapes to me. [/quote]

Will give you points to have courage to compare the students with some objective test (PSAT/NMSQT). I hope they do OK as they are good writers (based on the essay's which got them selected). Math is very low level and does not count much towards the overall score. But like other posters say you will have to wait for the National Merit from the new batch. By the way this year the cutoff score for semi-finalists was dropped by 2 points so you see more kids
