[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for now, but I graduated from Blair in the late 90s. I got into every college I applied to, including some Ivys. I chose UMCP, because they gave me a full ride (banneker key scholarship, not sure if they have it anymore). Anyway, when I got to UMCP, I found many of my old magnet classmates there (I'd guess 40/100, at least). And they were the most represented school in all of MD with the full ride scholarship. If I were to guess, at least half of those attending from Blair got a full ride. So yeah, a lot of us went to UMCP but there were very very good reasons for that. I have never regretted going there, and the magnet easily prepared me for my STEM career. A lot of my old classmates went onto to medical school from there, and a few have them have mentioned how relieved they were to not have undergrad debt in addition to med school debt. I don't think you should feel bad if you go to Blair/Poolesville and don't end up in an Ivy. [/quote]
