[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here: the reason I am confused is that her reading scores were so-so at best, and her math scores, while not crazy outliers, were top 1-2%. So I am surprised that if she didn’t qualify for Blair with great math scores, she qualified for IB. [/quote] SMACS is more desired (competitive / selective) than IB, by supply and demand. Many students at highly resourced schools and families, where most of the qualified students are, prefer non-IB to IB for the flexibility in the AP course selection, and for the college credit friendliness. And there are several local IB / partial-IB programs to absorb students. But SMACS has a lot of courses and labs and clubs you can't get anywhere else, even at the other academically desirable W schools. [/quote]
