[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes the selection is independent and there are fewer spots at Wheaton [/quote]

But also fewer candidates?  Because Wheaton is just the DCC?  Maybe I'm wrong, I thought I'd heard that Blair was the more selective program.  [/quote]
All students attending a DCC middle school can apply to Wheaton. This includes out-of-area students attending the MSMC (Parkland, Loiederman, Argyle). Wheaton also has many students apply but not get in. The two programs are different and appeal to different highly qualified students. Choosing one to apply to over the other based on popularity is a poor way to decide.[/quote]

Yes, so many non dcc kids at TPMS/Eastern will also apply. 
They only take 30 students for each program. [/quote]

30 students for what programs?[/quote]

30 for Biomed
30 for Engineering

(Wheaton has to* distinct magnets -- they have some math, science overlap and then have program specific classes)[/quote]

*two (not to)![/quote]
