What’s the new process?
Is this the top 1.5% from each middle school?
The new process requires that the students have completed Algebra Honors by 8th grade.
They need to have 2 years of Honors math and science.
They need to have at least 2 other Honors Courses.
They need a GPA of 3.5
They need to complete the time essays/math problem essay.
The kids who meet all the requirements are selected. Each MS seats the top 1.5% of applicants who meet the requirements.
After that there is some process of filling the remaining seats with the kids who were not in the top 1.5% from each MS. I am not sure how that is decided.
For purposes of clarification, the middle school itself has no role in selecting the students who are admitted. Rather, the Admissions Office selects a number from each middle school that is equivalent to 1.5% of their total number of 8th graders - in most cases, somewhere between 6 and 12 students.

PP left out the experience factors which give kids bonus points for demographic characteristics (not race) unrelated to stem interest or readiness.

It is the entire admissions pool that is selected by the new process, yes.

So what? It doesn’t mean that it’s right to drag out admissions this long. Every other charter school, college, etc. has admissions results out already.
Thank the Coalition for their lawsuit. The Admissions Office lost over a month between the original stop order and the eventual stay motion.
There is no end to what the Coalition will do to try to damage the school as long as they're not getting what they want - which is the ability for parents to use their resources to put their thumbs on the scale of the TJ admissions process. And, as a side benefit, to not have to send their children to school with Black kids, whom they are openly fearful of when talking to their own kids.
Couldn't have said this any better. They are going to try to burn the whole place down. It's so important that next year, half of the school will have been selected by the new process instead of just a quarter.

That's my take as well.

Someone should call the office and ask what’s going on…. If it was coming tomorrow, we should have received email already about it. I am sure they are going to drag it till next weekend.
The Admissions Office historically (before last year) does not send an e-mail indicating exactly when admissions offers will be released. This is so that they don't back themselves into a corner in case something goes awry in the final stages.
It is very possible decisions will be released tomorrow afternoon/evening.
From what I have heard, they send out email about the results day every year. Any previous parents, please chime in. Thanks
Rule of thumb: the vast majority of what you hear from parents about TJ admissions is false.
