[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not want to be flamed. Kid is in RMIB. It is a lot of work - A LOT OF WORK. Work that will not help in getting to college, but once you are in college - it will be a breeze after this program.

Blair is also amazing. It just does not have the IB aspect of jumping through hoops, but it is a vigorous and hard program.

Now the question is - what does your DC wants to do? RMIB is harder because IB takes a lot of effort. Time I feel would be better served in working on stuff that the colleges are looking for.

Thanks for this.  I have to ask -- was your child at eastern?  My child was not in hgc and step up to eastern was a lot of work.  People had told us horror stories about eastern's work load and it was initially tough but then son learned to balance it all.  I imagine the step to RM from anywhere other than Eastern may be particularly brutal and may still be very tough from eastern.

DC likes both programs and frankly, we didn't fully investigate because it is very hard to get into either.  [/quote]

I find Eastern kids find it easier to adjust to RMIB.  However, this is anecdotal. I am no expert. :-)  Best of luck. There are many, many, many paths to success.  My kid was not in Eastern.[/quote]
