[quote=Anonymous]Mine chose Blair for these reasons: 1) Commute. This would have been enough on its own, but also… 2) Blair Magnet felt more like part of the larger school community, while RMIB felt more isolated. 3) Liked the course selections at Blair and being able to take unusual courses in an area of interest (neuroscience, genetics, etc. in the Magnet, but also wide range of social sciences) 4) Liked that the Blair curriculum gets more open/flexible in junior & senior years, which felt like good preparation for life beyond high school. 5) DC and both parents were really turned off by the RMIB focus on college admission at the admitted student day, and preferred the philosophy at Blair. (I know a PP said their student had the opposite experience with shadow days. Our DC is a senior, so there were no shadow days when they were in 8th grade. Thanks, Covid!) [/quote]
