2) Furthermore, it is self-evident that they do so with the express purpose of advancing one racial group's acceptances to a publicly-funded institution of higher learning - the 133 offers that they claimed and annotated in the Class of 2024 was equivalent to about 75% of the South Asian population of that class. This statistic only furthers the disgusting narrative that Asian - and specifically Indian - students are only at TJ because their parents paid for expensive prep, when in fact it's likely that a large majority of those students would have been very strong candidates for TJ Admissions even without the impact of the money their parents spent.

There were 133 offers, but there clearly weren't 133 kids actually attending TJ.  Many were offered admissions to AOS or AET in addition to TJ, and probably at least some chunk of the 133 offers were LCPS kids who got in off of the wait list after other LCPS kids turned down TJ for AOS or AET.  Curie is of course going to inflate its numbers to promote its program.

Does anyone have the demographics for the kids applying to TJ from LCPS?  Is it a mix of all races and SES, or is it almost entirely UMC/wealthy South Asians?  If the latter, Curie is likely not a factor at all in admissions.  [/quote]

Asians generally account for 70% of Loudoun applicants and 90-95% of Loudoun offers. Given the ethnic balance of the Asian population in Loudoun, it is safe to assume that these are almost entirely South Asians.

But it is worth remembering that before the 2025s, Loudoun was not guaranteed a single seat - they merely had a cap. In most years before about the class of 2018, they did not reach their cap. So yes, Curie absolutely had an impact on the admissions process. Without it, Loudoun may very well have had significantly fewer TJ students and cost Loudoun taxpayers far less money as each student costs about 17-18K.[/quote]

TJ would be better off without the Loudoun students taking FCPS seats. They are a lot of the preppers from Curie.[/quote]

Spread lies about a group. Repeat, repeat, till many people believe it is true. Demonize the group. Target them. Well done TJ Progressives. Nice playbook. Did you borrow it from somewhere?[/quote]
