[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in RM district, you can get the go the IB route without applying. Julius West has the pre-IB program.[/quote]

This is just for the MYP.  In order to enroll in the actual IB program for a certificate (the magnet program) you still have to test into it for the last 2 yrs of HS, along with the rest of the students from all over MCPS.[/quote]

New poster here - I'm confused about the "last 2 years" part of the IB program.  I thought the test to get into the RM IB magnet was for 9th grade entry? Not 11th grade?[/quote]

RM magnet IB program -

9th and 10th - pre-IB 
11th and 12th - IB

Trust me, you require the first two years to actually ramp up for the IB portion.

Regular RM IB -

9th and 10th - continue with the MYP 
11th and 12th - Take IB along with the IB magnet students

I guess you have to have the aptitude to do the IB program because if you are not doing well your GPA will go down the drain.  You have to be a very strong candidate.  Another thing is that RM also offers regular AP courses like every other school.  So, even if yr kid does not go the IB route, they can still be doing the AP courses. It will not matter for college applications if they have taken IB or AP.
