As of yesterday 300 students had accepted and registered for their fall classes. That leaves a lot of kids who either haven't accepted yet or are going to decline but haven't hit the "no thanks" button yet.

I would guess that the soonest waitlist kids would get offeres is late July..but I'm only guesssing.


The deadline for acceptance was July 7th which is over. They won’t wait for their acceptance anymore.

Where did you get the 300 number from?


Pretty sure they just made this up. There is no way that the admissions office is giving this information out. [/quote}

PP is simply wrong. What the email said was "Welcome to the Class of 2025" and had information on how to register with FCPS etc. It was primarily directed to students outside of Fairfax that had not had the opportunity to open accounts with FCPS and register. They asked us to register, show up next week with paperwork, but in the meantime put in a course request using a link and said "more than 300 students have already registered for classes." The course request is due next week.


I would expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-450 kids to accept their offers. TJ admissions will probably be very protective of the actual number, as they should.


I’m going with the over.


Man, that would be great.

Before this year, the admissions office had this insane policy of “one and done”. They only offered slots from the waitlist one time. As a result, the class was always underenrolled. Such a totally waste of resources.

Don’t expect the waitlist process to go any smoother than the rest of the choppy process.

Is there a count of kids offered admission who rejected?
