Any other MD public colleges or universities from Blair magnet? How well do magnet students place at private engineering programs in MD, such as JHU or... what other private universities with Engineering are there in MD?

Yes, from the last class only. Usually this number ranges between 5 to 10. Blair SMCS is a strong feeder to MIT. This reputation was built through a long way of excellent record from alumni. And MCPS is giving it away completely.

Is UMD one of the 10 universities Blair graduates are accepted to and attend? What other colleges do they attend?

Blair SMCS students are top feeders to MIT, CMU, UC Berkeley, Cornell, Georgia Tech, JHU, UMich and UIUC traditionally. Typically 70%+ SMCS students will use UMD as their safe schools. That's not going to be the case in the future. For example, none of the 11 MIT offers from the latest graduation class came from a DCC student.

You are so full of shit.

1. There are plenty of smart DCC kids in the magnet (my own kid is one of them) — in fact many kids in the magnet have Blair as their home school. So quit promoting this BS.

2. There will be FIVE more graduating classes until the proposed changes go into effect (all 4 current grades of high school plus current 8th graders), so whatever changes take place will take FIVE years to show up in terms of university admissions.

3. The proposals do not include limiting admission to the DCC but creating new regions so denigrating the DCC is just BS.

I’m just stating facts. Facts are just facts. I’m not saying anywhere that SMCS doesn’t have Blair students. Of course it does. But none of the 11 MIT offers went to DCC students. In the past 3 years there were a total of 25 MIT offers. You can ask around and see how many were actually offered to DCC students? At most 1-2. By kicking W students back Region 4 will NOT give your bright kid more chance to get an elite offer. It will only water down the program as the majority of the top performers are gone.

Your facts aren’t even remotely correct. I don’t disagree that the proposals will be a disaster for the magnet but your claim about DCC students is both wrong and irrelevant. The new proposed region for Blair is not the DCC. And your insinuation that these changes will immediately impact university admissions is also wrong. So what “facts” are you actually talking about?

You're sort of gross. Who are you that you're tracking MIT acceptances? Yuck.

Yep. UMD and UMBC. Good programs in state tuition.

How many a year get into UMD CP from magnet? How many a year get into UMBC from magnet? Do they track post bac plans or education levels of those who were at Blair Magnet? Like do they go to UMDCP and continue to graduate programs and if so, where do they end up for grad school? Or do they enter the workforce full time?
