[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also had a very low cutoff score last year.[/quote]
This was addressed by a poster in another thread:
"NMSF is awarded to the kids who are in the top 0.5% of PSAT scores in their state. If the cutoff score for VA increased, then the students at the top did better this year compared to last year, meaning they needed a higher score to capture only the top 0.5%. None of this explains why FCPS and TJ have so much of a lower share of the VA NMSF this year than previous years."[/quote]

Other than TJ, other FCPS schools did not have significant change in their share of NMSF. The only school is TJ, which means the school has less top students. This is the reality and it happened with the group admitted under the new admission rules. You can fill in the blank[/quote]

Which schools picked up the lost TJ share?[/quote]
I think Langley pick up the most. That's the highest I have ever seen for Langley. [/quote]
I imagine there are a handful of kids from outside of FCPS like loudoun that would have been there if not for the admissions changes.[/quote]
PP here- That’s true also.[/quote]
