[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't GPA's just cutoffs and are not considered in final selection?[/quote] I haven’t seen anything to this effect in writing. There is SPS but also quotas per school.[/quote] It is not a quota, there are seats set aside for every MS. Some of the MS don’t have enough applicants to fill those seats nd the empty seats go into the general pool. [b]Some schools will end up with far more then the 1.5% guarantee.[/b] [/quote] Correct. TJ parent here (and I’m not here to debate). The 1.5% set-aside for each middle school had the intended effect of TJ making offers to every MS in FCPS, while also reducing the total number of offers to the traditional 3 or 4 MS who, prior to the change, accounted for up to twice as many offers. For example, Longfellow MS in McLean used to send approximately 80 students to TJ each year. Due to the 1.5 cap, Longfellow offers have fallen to 30 to 40 each year.[/quote]
