[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD received offers from Blair, RMIB, and Poolesville this year. She ultimately chose RMIB. Interestingly, most of her classmates who had multiple offers made the same choice, with only a few opting for Blair. It's important to note that each year, students may make different decisions. Perhaps in previous years, the majority of students chose Blair. Additionally, my daughter mentioned that the math program at RMIB may not be as competitive as she expected. So, while it's not accurate to say that Blair is definitively better than RMIB, individual preferences and program strengths certainly play a role in these choices[/quote]
Furthermore, it's worth noting that Blair has a larger Asian student population, and this may contribute to their strong performance in competitions like the NMSF. Asian students often have a strong focus on academics, a value instilled by their parents, and this dedication to hard work deserves recognition[/quote]
DC graduated from RMIB last year, and they said it was like 80%Asian, or some such. So, Blair magnet is 80%+ Asian?[/quote]

My DD said this year around 40% freshmen are Asians, when we tour the Blair, it's like 80%+ Asians [/quote]

No, Blair tends to have fewer Asian-American students than RMIB because of location. We heard it's about 35-40% so that sounds about equal to RMIB this year. There are still a lot but there is also a significant number of URM students at Blair. We saw fewer URM students at RMIB.[/quote]
