[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per my RMIB kid, it's a ton of work, but not particularly hard.  DC is thinking it may not be worth it for a lot of kids, and is telling their younger sibling to not do it.[/quote]

I have a kid starting the RMIB next year.  Why does your DC not recommend it for his/her younger sibling?  We debated about it a ton, and are not sure how much it will be worth it.  [/quote]

For our kids it was worth it - after undergrad at umd, one got PhD in engineering from MIT and second one is in t-20 medical school. Yes it’s not easy but if your child is capable, I’d strongly recommend it[/quote]

It sounds like the PhD from MIT and T-20 med student are highly driven individuals at their core.[b] I don't think RMIB did anything "extra". I think they had that "extra" to begin with,[/b] which is why they were accepted to and successful with RMIB.

Also worth pointing out that these students likely graduated from MCPS 6-8+ years ago and that MCPS has changed a lot since then.

As their parent I disagree (and I am sure they would too) but I am not going to counter argue hypothetical case.  I also know MCPS has changed a lot (sadly) but RM/IB's performance hasn't dropped that much? Am I wrong on that? [/quote]
