[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was some mention of the size of envelope being different in rejection versus acceptance.  Is there a difference.  My DD wants to open herself but is super super nervous about it, and I was just wondering if I could get a heads up of what to expect by envelope size.

Hoping they come in mail this afternoon.  The waiting is driving DD crazy![/quote]

Me again!  DD got envelopes from CAP and RM yesterday (and based on the info I got here from you all, I was pretty sure they would good nes since both large manila envelopes)  Accepted to both, and she is thrilled.

She didn't get anything from Blair Science yet.

DD starting to make the decision now  :?:   I saw in a previous post the high number of kids who applied to RM IB.  DD had heard about this too at the info night they held.  Anyone know why it gets so many more applicants than the Science and CAP programs?  Is it just because there are a couple of Science Magnets in the county and a Humanities program in poolsville that draws the kids from that side of the county from CAP?

RMIB takes applicants from whole county so naturally, more students can apply.   In addiiton, RMIB students attent all classes, except PE and music, with their peers, which means you get the best teachers and peers for your English and Social studies,  as well as your science and math classes.  In Blair SMAC, the students take English, Social studies, and foreign language classes with the local students.  The student body in any given class is heterogeneous, and some of the teachers hardly teach anything in class.

I've been telling her how popular the program is doesn't necessarily mean that it is a better program FOR HER.  [/quote][/quote]

RMIB is the only magnet that is accessible to the whole county.  SMAC is divided between Poolesville (9 clusters) and Blair (16 clusters).  CAP is only the DCC.  [/quote]

Global Ecology at PHS is accessible to the whole county as well. It has to take 20-30 from Poole MS out of 70 something spots. So, the 1st round is very competitive.[/quote]
