[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone concerned about missing out: my kid didn't get into either of the programs he applied to, and went to his local HS. He was disappointed.

Four years of HS later, he was accepted - early decision - to a top 10 school. Life goes on. Make of it what you can.

Hang in there![/quote]

Thanks - sounds great!  And congrats![/quote]
Thanks. Kid's quite excited.[/quote]

That's awesome. Magnets have lots of supports. [b]Making it to a top school outside of a magnet program is hard[/b]. Your kid did really well![/quote]

Actually not quite right... Whitman's Ivy League intakes are about parallel with RMIB's Ivy League intakes. And then there are the privates...[/quote]

+1 If you look at Bethesda magazine's yearly college acceptance lists you will see that many kids get into top schools outside the magnets. I'm sure if there was a list for upcounty, DCC, etc you would see similar data. [/quote]

Based on the data in the article,if the goal is to get into a top college then applying from Blair magnet  isn’t much an advantage, I guess.[/quote]
Yes, it is. You have to look at not just one year.[/quote]

Blair parent here: Blair is a great program for challenging STEM kids to meet their potential, but not for getting into top colleges. Yes, plenty of Blair magnet kids are accepted but I've seen at least 10 years of data and the PP's are correct many non-magnet students (at an equivalent rate), at least at W schools, get into top 20 schools.
