[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got an email that DC was invited to the Wheaton/Edison HS. Still on WL at Blair. Wootton is the home school. Any inputs on the Wheaton/Edison Cybersecurity program. TIA.[/quote]

My DC is currently invited and accepted to that program. Also coming from magnet middle. Excited about it. Also on WL for CAP. Does not want to go to CAP even if gets in...wants this Cybersecurity program. I'm sure many here will be dismissive because it is a lottery program but it sounds interesting. For the first few years you are a student in the Information Technology academy at Wheaton...my DC will take some AP classes outside of that academy as well. Good luck with your choices.[/quote]

Information Technology at Wheaton is really good. My kid was in one of the magnets but hung out mostly with the AOIT kids because they were less intense. They participate in hackerthons (Blair hosts a really fun one), robotics, etc. The facilities are brand new. All of kid’s friends were direct admits to UMD for CS (before anyone sh*ts on UMD, these are all moderate income kids who didn’t qualify for financial aid to more prestigious/private schools and CS at UMD is top notch/hard to get into/can’t be beat in the area).

Wheaton is a well run school. I felt like I always knew what was going on. The college counselor knows her sh*t.

Hope this helps![/quote]
