Has anyone gotten actual letters this year, though?

The results from PHS and RMHS will be in our mailbox today (from USPS Informed Delivery).

The results from PHS and RMHS will be in my mailbox today. Not all mail in the county is delivered on the same day.

Disagree, grammar police. Mailbox is singular in that sentence. PP wasn’t saying anything about other people’s mailboxes but she happens to sate her one mailbox with other people - probably family members - such that “our mailbox” and “my mailbox” mean exactly the same thing. Ours - mine, my husband’s, our children’s, belonging to us.

Same here. I also saw in USPS Informed Delivery and they are small envelopes so I guess the letter of rejections

Not necessarily, my kid's PHS acceptance came in small envelop two years ago.

I just received my kid's acceptance letters both from RM and PHS. Both came in small envelops today.

Parents - pleeease refrain from calling or texting results to your child during the day. Several years ago one of my kids in 8th grade magnet experienced a horrible school day as kids got results texted during classes. Some kids got bad news and were in tears and sent to counselors, some got good news and were horribly rude to peers, and pretty much the rest were in a high state of anxiety all day. Please give your children the news when they get home.

Good luck to all!

It's good to advocate wisdom, but some people will want to let their kids know if it's good news. It's not fair to tell them that they shouldn't let kids know. It is fair to ask people to use discretion and empathy.

How many eighth graders do you know who are consistently capable of discretion and empathy in the moment they receive exciting news? PP is not saying don’t tell them at all, just that when you tell them, do it at home ffs.

A lot. You don't think these kids are capable of discretion and empathy? My kid is currently at Blair (& accepted all other programs) and was at TPMS, so a lot of acceptances going on. Kids were respectful and sensitive (for the most part). I wouldn't open her mail, but I may have texted that she got a large envelope. You can't tell other parents what to do. Sorry.

From your many posts, it seems that you are not that sensitive. Your girls might be perfectly nice though.

Blair: 52 (reading), 50 (math) and 48 (non-verbal).

PP, are those median scores (thank you for posting!) for Blair Magnet or Blair CAP?

That's gotta be Blair Magnet (STEM). IMHO The Verbal is too low and the Quant is too high for median CAP.
