[quote=Anonymous]My DD got into RMHS IB, and it's a sample size on one, I know, but FWIW: 1. We didn't really "prepare", as in - we did nothing special beyond her studying well at her home school (Cabin John). She didn't go any academic enrichment outside of school. She was an A student, but she claims so were at least 30% of her classmates. 2. She had very good, not great, scores on both Map-R and Map-M (~95th percentile with Map-M higher than Map-R), so one theory could be that they are looking for well-rounded. 3. We spent about a month slowly writing an essay (on weekends mostly, and we had ~10 revisions). She wrote it herself, but as parents we did challenge her and provided feedback. She was admitted to both Kennedy and RM IB Programs. [/quote]
