She was waitlisted for the Pre-IB program though. She probably will not be attending either because if she is not accepted to either TJ/AOS/AET she would be most happy/thriving at her base school and participating in the activities there surrounded by her friends.

I'd say 6 or 7, but I'd need to know what is a 5 on this scale.
The math is pretty easy and somewhat a repeat of what kids have already taken, because all students take the same math class.

Do they send us emails also ?
Anonymous wrote:A lot of waitlist seats will open up as over 100 students will accept spots to TJ. However, if your school is above its quota, probably Stone Hill, Eagle Ridge, Brambleton, maybe Willard, then to get in someone from the same school would have to decline a spot.
Also, recently many students getting in to TJ have not been accepted to Academies so not as many seats will open up.
