[quote=Anonymous]"From my CAP kid: "OMG do not do Richard Montgomery if you have any concerns about workload and stress! [b]RM is like CAP and Blair magnet combined."[/b]
The kids who went to RM, I'm told, really wanted the most rigorous program and thought magnet was their second choice. And CAP their third."

This is just crazy talk.  It's not like the SMAC students don't take lots of AP to complement the SMAC classes.

Similarly, the IB science and math classes don't hold a candle to SMAC classes.

That doesn't mean both RMIB and SMAC aren't lots of work, just that they are pretty much comparable.

For both programs stress comes and goes over the years.

The big difference in terms of stress is that SMAC students can pick and chose among electives they really want 2nd semester of their senior year after college apps are over.

This can be really stressful for some students depending on what they pick or how large of a program they choose to write for Software Design but it doesn't have to be.

RMIB students who finish their diploma, on the other hand, spend that semester finishing their extended essay and studying for the majority of their IB tests.

This can be really stressful for some who want to max out their IB test scores or who get a bad case of senioritis, but again it doesn't have to be.
