[quote=Anonymous]I have a Blair magnet sophomore who got in with a MAP score that was not 300 plus. In fact it was somewhere in the 270s. Despite that “low” score he’s doing extremely well in the program which is a good fit for any kid who is strong academically but just as important also VERY organized and VERY motivated. kids in the program that aren’t doing as well as others are failing in staying on top of the volume of work, are not organized enough or just don’t care enough. The key to success in the magnet is not genius but the right combination of an ability to pick up subjects quickly, organization, motivation, drive, hard work and an ability to survive on too little sleep. Kids who aren’t strongly motivated to be part of this program will not be a good fit, so bear this in mind all you DCUM type A parents when you push your kids to a magnet.[/quote]
