[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter got accepted to Blair CAP, but not RMIB. She went to a non-magnet middle school. She was also in the cohort for the incoming sixth grade where they changed the way they selected if you recall. No kids were selected from her MS to go to MS magnets that year - the MS said this was because there was a cohort at the MS.  I wanted to bring that up just bc of the posters saying their kids were in the magnet MS and didn’t get accepted anywhere to HS. Remember that this is the class where the incoming MS process changed, so there were kids like mine competing with yours that didn’t have the opportunity to join your kid at the MS magnet.

I recall being super bummed that year that she wasn’t selected and felt like these kids got ripped off again with the covid changes to the application process this year. This process really sucks, and I’m very sorry for anyone crushed today. My daughter was too for the Ms process.

That said, she had a great time at her homeschool. Best years of her life she say lol. So I’m glad with how it turned out.

As far as her stats, she has straight all As except one B in a math quarter for 7th grade. High 90s MAPs. So it seems like they didn’t just the all As, 99 MAP kids. Which makes sense to me - there are probably tons of those anyway, so even if it just limited it to that, it would still have to be sorry lottery process.

She does have an absolute passion for theater and writing and “communication arts” in general - basically everything the CAP program is about. We went to the open house and it was breathtaking how perfect the program is for her. She’s a self motivated leader who loves language and writing and acting and making movies. It’s about communication and media, and her essay absolutely reflected that. And no, I didn’t help her with it a bit.

She’s white if it matters (just saying that bc a PP is making up things about selecting for “diversity”). She has two friends who also were selected - also white, also totally into what the program is about. One comes from Eastern and the other from her home MS.

Sharing just bc it seems like people are interested in who was actually selected. Maybe it really was about interest in the programs topics as reflected in the essay?  Which is really all they had this year anyway. [/quote]

Pretty much all the CAP kids are white, so she will fit right in![/quote]
