[quote=Anonymous]CAP accepts 75 kids from the DCC ( if I remember what the director said, around 250 kids apply). SMAC receives around 600 applications from 16 high school clusters. The SMAC program attracts high achieving students and it has a national reputation. I do agree that there is a lot to be gained from a liberal arts education but the SMAC program also seems to value creativity, problem-solving and collaborative learning. Some of the previous posters seem a little dismissive of the SMAC experience and I am not sure that is fair. Bottom line though is that if your child prefers to go to CAP that is the most important consideration. We are in the same situation and we will let ds make the decision after he attends the information meetings and shadows at SMAC. Unfortunately CAP does not allow shadowing so he will not be able to make a fully informed decision. [/quote]
