[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CAP director will say what has been said here.  It is possible that having a CAP sibling will matter in any given year and depending on other circumstances like enrollment.

I would think that a better case could be made for a sibling if you lived further away for example SMAC rather than CAP.

I think predicting this type of thing has never been more difficult because all programs are currently under one level of review/revision or another so new rules may apply in the future.[/quote]

Actually, not true.  SMAC specifically does not have a sibling link, so it would be hard to get a COSA based on that and I haven't heard much talk of anyone doing it.  On the other hand, I know many families who have had siblings of a CAP student get into Blair.  This is really a special circumstance for the DCC because they are trying to balance interest at all five HS some preference is given to siblings being at the same HS to ease the burden on the family.  CAP has some non-DCC students grandfathered in (anyone who attended the MS magnets can apply) but essentially it's a DCC program.  SMAC is different, it's a county wide program (split between Blair and Poolesville).  The only caveat is that Blair is consistently the most popular choice in the DCC, so space is limited.  Also rules could change before the second child reaches HS.[/quote]
