Admission is based on a few things, 2.5 quantitative, 1.5 qualitative.
Quant:
Middle school grades.
SOL and VGA-type assessments.
.5 = the Q&A portion of the entrance exam.
Qualitative:
Free text recommendations from current Math and Science teachers.
.5 = the essay your kid wrote.
Top 20% of the # of kids across the county get first choice. So about 25 per AET and AOS. The n a percentage of each middle school gets admitted qualified applicants. Brambleton, you’re SOL as 60% of the 8th grade applies. Smarts Mill? 5% apply, 3% get in.
For example, an admitted AET student this cycle: Nothing lower than an A all of middle school, 600 Algebra SOL, 570 English SOL.
Waitlist is the next 5-ish percent per middle school. It’s not a Loudoun-wide process. This was the change two years ago so it would be a more equitable process across the county rather than 50% of kids coming from Brambleton.
So Ironic... Posts starts with "do not spread rumors " but it does nothing but post incorrect information/ rumoursCan you provide a proof or any online resource for information in that post ?
1) There are no teacher recommendations accepted.
2) .05 percent for exam is so far away from reality.
Yeah, I have two kids that go there and if you ask they’ll tell you their criteria.
Your child’s math and science teachers were given free form text fields for applicants. Go ask them.
And it’s not .05 percent for the exam, it’s the weighting of the qualitative field with standard testing and grades.
You sound big mad about dumping $$$ into kumon or Kaplan and not getting a bid.
😊😊 You are too fast to jump to conclusions .
I have 2 kids who are in AOL( initially waitlisted) Last year , DD had perfect SOL score -as per your criteria - she should have been admitted but waitlisted.
My 3rd one just admitted this year had sol score over 500 but not perfect score , so please save your rhetoric about “ mad” , “dumping $$$$ “.
I know for fact that there is a lottery pool for kids who score more than a cutoff mark.

hello mate, equity volunteer here too. Smarts Mill has a chronic absenteeism problem and less than half of the class is proficient in basic grade 8th math. We dont need to worry about Brambleton and their AET/AOS admission chances. Lets focus of addressing Smarts Mills issues with teaching basic math.
… you misunderstand.
A higher % of qualified applicants from the Smarts pool of applicants will get in.
If 10 qualified kids from Smarts apply, 5 might get in.
If 100 qualified kids from Brambleton apply, 5 might get in.
You don’t get extra per middle school just because a lot applied or because the overall proficiency is higher. This is black and white in public documents.

Brambleton's overall math proficiency is 91%, whereas Smart's Mill math proficiency is 34%, and the fix for this massive discrepancy is to admit may be one or two Smarts mill kids into AOS/AET?
You don’t think there are any kids at Smarts worth succeeding at AOL?
What a terrible thing to insinuate on children.

Brambleton had barely opened by then. Lots of seats went to Stone Hill and surprisingly Willard.

Academies admissions:
====================
Four year program 9th to 12th: AOS 120 seats,
Four year program 9th to 12th: AET (IT, Engineering, Entrepreneurship) all three combined 150 seats
Two year program for 11th & 12th: Advanced AET (IT, Engineering) 50 seats.
MATA: 1200 seats
AET four year may have been increased to 180 seats in recent years.
In case you are wondering about total applications, it is about 2300, with good number of applicants applying to both AET and AOS. If you are further wondering about the breakdown of total applicants, over 1500 applicants are Asian Americans, about 450 Whites, 250 Hispanics, and 150 African Americans.
