[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC with very similar stats was rejected from Longfellow but I think your child has an excellent chance of being admitted. Good luck!

Did you end up sending your kid to McLean or did you find another school?  How is it working out?

We are appalled by the arrogant, dismissive attitude of the school board member about the overcrowding there and not sure we can stomach sending DC there. [/quote]

Longfellow is a great school. Lot of smart kids and extremely competitive to get into TJ. My child got in last year from Longfellow 
For a good or easy chance to get into TJ you can be out of feeder schools[/quote]

Isn't that funny, the feeder schools are now the hardest places to get into TJHS from[/quote]

Because of the quota system lot of deserving students are not getting admitted which is disappointing for the kid and parents. They had worked so hard all year long. Some kids from other schools who got in are surprised they were the top 1.5%. Don’t know if this is funny for you[/quote]

FALSE, because of the improvements to the selection process more deserving students are being selected now than in years past.[/quote]

In the past they most just picked kids who could afford prep classes which were mostly from a few wealthy schools. This wasn't the same thing as the most gifted, but people who were gaming admissions. [/quote]
