[quote=Anonymous]Got emails at parent email only (no kid's email) for acceptance into Blair STEM, and rejection from RMIB. TPMS magnet Kid was planning to go to Blair STEM only anyway, else he would have gone to Wooton. He tells me that all his best buddies (pretty smart kids) are accepted into Blair STEM and/or RMIB though a kid with an exceptionally high MAP-M score is waitlisted. They all have high MAP-M/R scores and are Math/Science/Difference Makers club officers. Kid won a regional Math competition last year, a regional chess competition a few years ago, and started a club last year besides doing very well in math and science clubs. Basically, a pretty nerdy kid with strong extracurriculars and the ability to work very hard and determined to succeed. Anyways, I am writing all this to give ideas to parents whose kids will be applying for next year. I got so many tips and info- from this website that I feel obliged to do so as those proved very helpful for my kid to get admitted first into TPMS Magnet and now into Blair STEM Magnet. At the same time, I am also seeking info- now from parents with kids interested in pursuing STEM careers in top colleges or already there for my kid to help him plan his pathway at Blair so he could get into top colleges (hopefully with some scholarship). What courses he should be taking, what extracurricular activities are regarded as most valuable, etc. Basically, anything that can help him achieve his goal. I know what I am asking for is a tall order, but even a little help will be highly appreciated. I am an immigrant who didn't go to school in this country so don't have much idea about schools and colleges here so seeking your help. Again, I am very very thankful to great parents who have been sharing valuable info- for parents and kids here. Best wishes to your kids and hope they are able to achieve what they want to in their lives! [/quote]
