Kids weren’t in school to receive free meals in fall of 2021 so no cheaters then.




We received free meals in the fall of 2021. My kids have received free meals from March 2020 until today. This fall, we will go back to paying for lunches. Are we currently eligible to receive free lunches? Yes, we are, just as everyone else is.


Well I don’t think the fact that every kid received free meals is going to suffice for TJ admissions. Documentation from a very specific list must be provided to verify eligibility for FARMS for purposes of TJ admissions.

The question was still asked if you are ELIGIBLE for free/reduced price meals and the government has always had specific criteria for qualifying

Dang!

Guess you really shouldn’t have misrepresented your family on the application.


Yup! Wonder how this will shake up the waitlist movement

So those cheaters can’t cheat.

Seems like there was an ~8% increase in ED from class of 2025 to class of 2026.

40-50 cheaters?

TJ admissions is verifying FARMS eligibility and will reevaluate applications if status cannot be verified which May result in a different admissions outcome
