[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid was never going to get into Blair. That was a waste of time. People list Blair first so they can definitely get their 2nd choice. MCPS touts that almost everyone gets their 1st or 2nd choice so you have to think about choosing strategically.[/quote]

NP - we live in an Einstein-zoned neighborhood and I know many kids who live here and went/go to Blair.  It’s not impossible at all.[/quote]

MANY? I do not believe you. I am zoned for Einstein and have had 4 kids go through DCC schools. I only know 1 kid that was able to get into Blair through the lottery process (and that was as a sophomore). I've known plenty of kids who went to Blair (who were zoned for Einstein) but they were all in magnet programs or had sibling preference.[/quote]

Or we can agree to disagree, like civilized people.  Why do you assume that someone whose experience is different than yours MUST be lying?  That’s a strange reaction.[/quote]

My sense is that it is not as hard to get assigned to Blair via the lottery than it used to be a few years ago. Einstein and Wheaton have been becoming more popular too, so maybe not as many people are ranking Blair first.[/quote]
