DC said classmates who got in to RM are good in both English and math. All the kids DC knows who got in to Blair SMAC also got in to RM except one, but not the other way around. Most RM kids did not get into Blair SMAC.

This shows true when the National Merit SemiFinalists come out. English is doubled (so it’s more important) and yet still Blair beats all the other schools. However, RMIB is a great program in a beautiful school.

I think it would be a mistake to assume all of the NMSFs at Blair always come from SMAC. I know three kids who turned down RMIB for CAP, based either on proximity or just a desire to focus more deeply on media and language arts.

DD who is at Blair says all the NMSF were from the SMAC program her year, all of the more than 40. I don't think all of them do every year but nearly all of them.
