[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had straight As throughout Eastern and got into CAP but not Blair stem with 280 MAPM. There were a bunch who got into Blair stem from Eastern, but I have no idea about their grades and scores. They were in the math club which I have to believe helped in their essay.[/quote]

It may have been related to interest/yield.  My kid applied to Blair magnet,  Wheaton mag and Blair CAP coming from TPMS magnet several years ago. Had lots of performing arts accolades (state level awards) and good writer. Also,  had perfect (or near perfect) verbal score for the assessment at the time. Excellent grades and teacher recs. But, wrote essay on something stem related.  Did fine with stem magnets, rejected by CAP. At that time, it was 1 app for all programs (is it still?), so I think CAP people assumed kid would opt for stem based on the essay content. 
My oldest applied in the days of separate apps for each program.  She tailored essay and app components to each one and got in everywhere (both Blairs, both Wheatons, RMIB). [/quote]
