[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair has been the top feeder in MD for Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and TJHS has been the top one in VA. But Blair has a magnet program (100 students) while TJHSST is whole school magnet (approx. 500 students in each grade)

[b]Blair Stats: [/b]
25 students from Blair got into Harvard, Princeton, and MIT during 2018-2020, so a little more than 8 students per year. Assuming that almost all of these students were from the magnet program, the admission rate would be about 8/100 or 8%

[b] TJHSST Stats:  [/b]
57 students from TJHS got into Harvard, Princeton, and MIT during 2018-2020, so 19 students per year, which implies an admission rate of 19/500 or 3.8%

[b]This suggests that Blair magnet students have about twice the chance of being admitted to Harvard, MIT, and Princeton compared to TJHSST  (8% vs. 4%).[/b]

Any thoughts on this comparison?

Wouldn’t it be better to compare the admissions rate of the schools among kids who actually applied? [/quote]
