[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair is a strong program but niche, for STEM obviously but majority pre-engineering. RMIB is better for kids who like STEM and humanities, and produces excellent analytical writers across disciplines. Historically RMIB has had better college outcomes because Ivy+ schools prefer a broader liberal arts focus. Blair does better with MIT. Both are very competitive but RMIB students are a little more chill. Last year RMIB produced twice as many NMSF as Blair. This year it was reversed, Blair produced twice as many. So the cohorts vary too.[/quote]

No disagreement with the general characterization, but the college outcome results are not correct, can easily google at Bethesda Magazine.

Also not correct, that last year (2023) RMIB produced twice as many NMSF as Blair. MCPS announcements on number of NMSF winners have been very consistent in the last 20 years. Blair has always been the majority, typically 40+ NMSF. RMIB has very good results as well, but about 50-75% of Blair's.
Results for 2023 and 2024, you can google previous years results easily.

Hope this doesn't become another pissing battle, both magnet programs are excellent, with Blair more focused on STEM, and RMIB more focused on humanitieis and analytical writing. Both schools have all the resources to produced excellent grads going to top colleges. To each their own.[/quote]

Once again, Blair magnets are larger than RMIB.

Think about the math (ironic).[/quote]

RMIB accepts about 125 students each year

Blair Magnet accepts about 100 students each year

It is indeed ironic that your math skills is not up to par[/quote]

😄 Explains why poster's DC couldn't get in Blair magnet[/quote]

Except that Blair has two magnet programs, dummkopf, totaling about 175 students.[/quote]

[b]Exactly the point 👍[/b]

Those two pp are ignorant about Blair magnets.[/quote]
And what was the point???
The PPs proved that Blair had more NMSFS than RM, refuting the claim that "Last year RMIB produced twice as many NMSF as Blair". 
It's right there on the chain of posts. 
Blair having 2 magnets " doesn't make the claim true. 
So help us out, what is the point?[/quote]

Blair has one magnet. CAP doesn’t count.[/quote]
