There was no test buying.
If there was any evidence of that it would have made the local if not national news and not just anonymous chart boards.
This is just more of your racist bullshit directed at immigrant indian families that are outperforming your slack children.
Without the testing, TJ is definitely less competitive in all the wrong ways.
At least half the kids there would never have been admitted under any merit-based system and TJ has had to adjust its high standards to avoid failing a significant minority of the class.

There were 165 national merit semifinalists for the class of 2024 out of 264 total in FCPS.
I expect that number to drop to under 100 for the class of 2025

You can have merit with diversity but not like this.

You are mistaken. One-third of TJ's entering class attended a prep center that was known to have compiled a question bank that included many of the actual test questions.

Most of these students could not have done well on the QunatQ without this advantage. These days kids get in on their own merit. I would expect even better results.

This had nothing to do with the test and everything to do with racial diversity.

Once again, if someone cheated the way you claim, it would have not only made local news, it would probably have made national news.
The only place you seem to see this claim is on anonymous chatboards.
Mostly by racists that are salty that dark-skinned indians are outperforming their light-skinned kids.

If the previous merit-based criteria was really so compromised that it was selecting inferior students and the current criteria was really better, then why are the current students so much dumber than before?

It's not like Tj doesn't know how to select for actual academic merit.
The froshmores are selected based on merit because noone keeps track of their race.

The last time they tried to racially balance TJ with a more "holistic" process, they only made TJ white, dumber and richer.
At least this time they didn't make it richer (and really, how much wealthier could TJ have gotten?)
We know how to select for poverty without discarding merit. We just don't do it because it would only increase the asian population without adding the desired diversity.

Your post is full of mistruths and alternative facts. Further, selection is race blind. Using race to balance is highly illegal. If you have evidence of this you can win a multi million dollar lawsuit but courts require evidence so you'll get laughed out of court even quicker than c4tj

Unlike your fabricated stories about indian kids buying the test answers, there are in fact news stories about the racial motives behind the change in the admissions process.
You can call it diversity or DEI but it's still the government changing the rules to affect the racial composition of the school in favor of some races at the expense of others.

I am interested, how exactly would I win a multimillion dollar lawsuit for a race neutral admissions process that was implemented for racial diversity at the expense of merit.
I mean how is this different than race blind literacy tests that they only got rid of by passing the civil rights act?
Or poll taxes that they only got rid of by passing a fukken constitutional amendment?

Just because it's legal don't make it right.
You are the wrong side of history.
Future you will be ashamed of today you. Assuming you have any shame.
They literally had a study done to figure out how to achieve their racial goals and they realized they had to get rid of objective measures of merit to achieve them.
There was no interest in actually improving the education of underrepresented minorities, just representation of underrepresented minorities at the most difficult school in northern virginia.

Honey, there were several reasons for the change. Stated and unstated.

And none of those reasons have anything to do with their crazy persecution complex.

You can be a terrible writer in 8th grade and be a good student at TJ. You can learn to improve your writing to a high level in high school.

The entire entrance exam is like 5 or 6 essays. How do you write 5 or 6 good timed essays if you are a terrible writer?
