[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why did FCPS change things in 2006? Is that also when they changed "GT" to "AAP"?[/quote] My recollection is FCPS convened a Blue Ribbon Panel to conduct a study and find ways to increase admission of blacks and Hispanics to TJ and after the report came out in 2005 the admission process was completely overhauled from admissions based on test scores and GPA to reviewing essays, SIS, teacher recommendations in addition to test scores and GPA holistically starting with 2006. It was again changed to various weights being assigned to different components around 2010 with heavy emphasis on subjective components and then it was changed again this year to reviewing everything "holistically". Looks like they are back to square one. I am not sure when the GT was changed to AAP. ironically, I think there were more blacks and Hispanics attending TJ prior to 2006 when the process was revamped to increase admission of blacks and Hispanics.[/quote]
