[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think TJ students are working on Quantum Computer.[/quote]

They must be gifted learners.[/quote]

That is why it should takes more than 3.5 GPA to get admitted.  [/quote]

Realistically, it does. I strongly doubt there are more than a small handful of kids whose MS GPAs were below a 3.75 or so. You only have to have a 3.5 to apply and be eligible for selection. The average GPA of offered students was 3.95 or so, significantly higher than the 3.90 than it used to be.

Now, if the C4TJ people continue to push so hard that we end up with a lottery, then you might have this issue. But given that it will hurt their own kids to do so, I'd be surprised if they continue to push. FCPS should announce that if the stay isn't granted, they will move to a lottery.[/quote]

Those fools will be in contempt of court if they used lottery. Let them try and find out. [/quote]

What is the legal basis for your assertion that they will be in contempt of court?[/quote]

There isn't one. They're just grasping at straws because they're terrified that they inadvertently screwed their kids over. Anyone who has even a tenuous grasp on admissions law knows that lotteries are expressly legal and in this case FCPS can argue that they did it because of the need for a quick solution that didn't require additional inputs.[/quote]

Nah. A "quick solution" the defendants themselves created due to their deafness despite multiple warnings from the Court to come up with an alternative plan. Shows "bad faith" on the part of defendants so no that argument has sailed long time ago. Do better.[/quote]

Had it ever occurred to you that the lottery might be the very alternative plan that they came up with? It is inarguable that they cannot seek additional inputs at this point.[/quote]
