[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 3 will disappear once they go regional magnet. Sad to see their days are numbered.[/quote]

Or alternatively, there will be more opportunities to the many smart semifinalists (and other students) in the other 12 schools who currently get nothing but might be able to access more opportunities from the regional magnets when they're geographically closer and more spots are available.

Total number of NSMF '26
Region #1: 60 (minus ~ 20 in the future)
Region #2: 4
Region #3: 14 (the one with Woodward HS) 
Region #4: 56 (plus ~ 20 in the future)
Region #5: 0  (the one with Crown HS)
Region #6: 19

So Region #1 will decline. Region #4 will become the new center and competitions are going to be fierce. Region #6 stays roughly the same. Region #2 and #5 - good luck to you all. You are going to be completely segregated and stand by yourself. [/quote]

NMSF is not a zero sum game though. [/quote]

NMSF cutoff is defined to cut at top 1%, so the absolute number can vary, the percentage meaning behind remains the same. If you can't understand this from a statistical point of view, ask ChatGPT. [/quote]

1% at the state level, not county level. You can’t assume the same number of NMSF winners from MCPS year after year.

If you assume MCPS remains the same rank within MD, then yes this is a zero-sum game. The ones lost from Blair will go fill back Wootton, Churchill and RM. 
If you assume your regional model will make MCPS stronger, the only thing I can say is: feel free to daydream :)

And disclaimer: I'm not the pp who you are trying to argue with. [/quote]
