[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP 12:35 If your sole goal is college admissions, please don't apply to the magnet program.  It's not what it's about.  We understand that our kid would be at the tippy top student at a regular school- but maybe only average in a magnet program.

Can’t it be something less than the sole goal and something more than nothing?  If it has a negative impact (maybe yes, maybe no) then it seems like it is one of the things to consider.   I don’t understand the logic of saying that the high school experience is so important that we send our kids to a magnet school but the college education is so much less important that we don’t even consider the impact. I get there is a cost issue in most cases but it seems that there is an undercurrent of high school is terribly important, grad school is terribly important but the thing in between just doesn’t matter.

Btw- way to convince yourself that your kid would be at the “tippy top” at a regular school - that’s not condescending in the least. [/quote]
