[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop spreading rumors about a lottery.

Admission is based on a few things, 2.5 quantitative, 1.5 qualitative.

Quant:
Middle school grades.
SOL and VGA-type assessments.
.5 = the Q&A portion of the entrance exam.

Qualitative:
Free text recommendations from current Math and Science teachers.
.5 = the essay your kid wrote.

Top 20% of the # of kids across the county get first choice. So about 25 per AET and AOS. The n a percentage of each middle school gets admitted qualified applicants. Brambleton, you’re SOL as 60% of the 8th grade applies. Smarts Mill? 5% apply, 3% get in.

For example, an admitted AET student this cycle: Nothing lower than an A all of middle school, 600 Algebra SOL, 570 English SOL.

Waitlist is the next 5-ish percent per middle school. It’s not a Loudoun-wide process. This was the change two years ago so it would be a more equitable process across the county rather than 50% of kids coming from Brambleton.[/quote]

So Ironic... Posts starts with "do not spread rumors " but it does nothing but post  incorrect information/ rumours :):) Can you provide  a proof or any online resource for information in that post ?

1) There are no teacher recommendations accepted. 
2) .05 percent for exam is so far away from reality.

Yeah, I have two kids that go there and if you ask they’ll tell you their criteria.

Your child’s math and science teachers were given free form text fields for applicants. Go ask them.

And it’s not .05 percent for the exam, it’s the weighting of the qualitative field with standard testing and grades.

You sound big mad about dumping $$$ into kumon or Kaplan and not getting a bid.
