[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into Blair STEM, RMIB, and CAP. He thinks he wants to do the STEM magnet, and Blair is more conveniently located for us, but which should be choose?

He's at the TPMS magnet now with straight As for all 2.5 years, and thinks it's easy, so he's worried about suddenly having a big workload at high school and not being able to handle it.  (The only class he ever had to work hard on and study in is Spanish III.) He definitely has a STEM orientation, but he's brilliant all-around.[/quote]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Please share the MAP scores as well , my DC is in grade 7 , and we will get some idea about the system.[/quote]

His Fall MAP-M was 270 and MAP-R was 249. He was worried because that went down from last spring when he had 277 and 252, respectively. Summer slide, I guess, but he did have a fun summer. [/quote]

Sheesh, last year my kid rejected from Blair with a 289 MAP-M. Fortunately admitted to RMIB (264 MAP-R) and is happy since he gets to take magnet classes in both STEM and humanities. I’m always puzzled at how admissions decisions are made, and wish there was more transparency.[/quote]

PP, in this era of no teacher recommendations, I think they also pay close attention to the student's essay when gauging student interest and motivation in the various programs and subject areas. My DS, with similar stats, was rejected from IB but accepted to SMCS. His essay was strongly leaning toward the STEM fields. In this case, I agree with the selection committee's decision and think that SMCS is the better fit for him.[/quote]
