[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a grind for sure. I went to RM but didn't do the IB program. The kids who did though, most went to MIT/Harvard/ etc. and are now doctors and attorneys. [/quote]

Fortunately, you can become a doctor or an attorney without going to MIT or Harvard...  Is that the overarching reason why these kids chose this program?  Because more likely to get into Ivy League?  Or are they like the grind/they are High Achiever Type As who can't imagine slowing down?

Do they burn out?[/quote]

I think most of these people are the Type A kind you mention, and most thrived in the program in spite of the stress. The improved chances of getting into an Ivy League school certainly didn't hurt, but from what I could tell, many people loved the program. I actually know one person, an MD, who actually moved back to Rockville recently so that her own kids could attend RM for the IB program.

I'm sure people did burn out... none that I know of though. I was a pretty average student who took some AP classes and went to a state school after graduating, so no personal experience to share.
