is this mess compared to previous year's admissions?[/quote]

It is compared to 10-15 years ago. Back then, TJ typically had 20+ acceptances to MIT each year, 17+ to Princeton, 9+ for Yale, Harvard etc. [/quote]

There are so many other factors beyond TJ that you can't come to this conclusion. 15 years ago Fairfax County was *the* prime location near the federal government. It still is, but there are plenty of new tech-oriented metro centers that are stealing away wealthy families who otherwise would have moved here to go to TJ. Raleigh, Austin, Huntsville, Phoenix, just to name a few.

TJ will never again have the concentration of high-achieving, wealthy, post-grad educated families that it once had because wealthy tech families have spread out. That fact alone means other high schools will "take away" acceptances from TJ.[/quote]
