[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he in the magnet?

I would think that is what MIT wants to see - that he has taken the most challenging courses available to him.

Another question re: magnet students:  My DC is taking the most challenging magnet classes available.  [b]As we look at colleges, we are seeing that many schools' offerings don't go that far beyond what the Blair magnet offers and what DC will have taken by the time graduation rolls around.

Is that really true?  [/b]If so, do Blair students who want to study math in college need to winnow their choices down to schools that offer very high levels of math instruction, beyond what is typically seen in most college course catalogs?[/quote]

So, your concern is college math classes may be too easy for your blair kid?  [/quote]

No.  [b]My concern is that my kid has already done a lot of the classes available in the math departments at many colleges[/b].

Not a brag, not a humblebrag, just a statement of fact and a request for input.[/quote]

Um, no. You don’t have much experience with college math, do you? I doubt he’s even scratched the surface.

Just a statement of fact.[/quote]

Actually, I was a math major, and have a lot of experience with both college math and graduate classes in math.  [/quote]

Well, I was not a math major and those Blair offerings look nothing like what a math major would take.[/quote]
