[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]

My kid got offers from Blair magnet, CAP, both Wheaton programs and RMIB. Chose Blair magnet. As did everyone he knew with the choice. Your anecdote is no more useful than mine. [/quote]
In my DD’s school, 5 kids got multiple offer chose RMIB, 2 kids chose Blair [/quote]

Your child did not get in to Blair though. I know who you are and why you are pushing this anecdotal data over and over again.

It's funny! I've been using this thread for a while, but this is my first post. Let me share what I know. No need to sugarcoat it. Blair seems to outperform RMIB in NMSF and SAT, perhaps due to its larger Asian student population. Initially, we favored Blair for our child, but she changed her mind after a shadow day at RM. I even know a boy who picked Blair immediately after a shadow day, despite his mom's preference for Blair. In my daughter's middle school, more students chose Blair than RMIB for the Class of 2026. Preferences do seem to shift each year.

It's normal for kids to make different choices, and I'll never blame others for that. Claiming people are lying just because they didn't choose Blair is amusing. I feel sorry for your bigotry. School decisions are personal. In the Class of 2022, RMIB had strong college acceptance results, and Wootton seemed very poor. But this year, Blair performed better, and Wootton turned out to be amazing. Why? Because things change all the time. It's important to have open and respectful conversations.

I share what I know based on my DD’s school data, but you present your knowledge as the ultimate truth in the whole school system . That's where our differences lie. [/quote]
