[quote=Anonymous]We did nothing to prep. My kid had a MAP M of mid 270s and MAP R of mid 260s. Wrote about his passions (STEM) and work ethic (very motivated), some extra curriculars that showed balance and team work and ability to work with others. He wrote it all himself. It had a good hook and showcased his interests. He got admitted to all the selective programs - Blair magnet and CAP, the Wheaton programs, the IB programs (RM and local). Chose Blair. What you have to consider is that these programs are extremely rigorous and hard work. Your kid has to be strongly motivated to succeed. Kids who land there due to pushy parents trying to manipulate the selection will be miserable.[/quote]
