[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair mom poster here. I know that folks assume that Covid instruction wasn't all "that" during the Zoom year. But - at least for mine - she managed to end the year taking a UMD mutivariable calculus exam and score an A on it so that if she were to go to UMD, she would be able to start there at a higher level and not retake the class. So, it's not like the teens sat around doing nothing...

I agree with the other poster that I think the LAC's don't necessarily understand the Blair magnet program or believe that the students there could actually want them as a first choice (which mine did).

And she certainly was on camera communicating during her ASL class :-)![/quote]
If it is her first choice, why didn’t she apply ED? Isn’t ED a strong indicator of first choice?[/quote]

I agree with this. She should’ve figured out which school was her first choice.  [/quote]

I'm the other Blair parent, and we can't afford ED. Even w/ NPC, there were too many variables with home value (Brown dropped this when it was too late for us). Also, we need to compare FA. So, ED was not an option. On the bright side, everything she's gotten so far has been on the lower end of the NPC calculations.

Here's hoping for at least to more to Brown from Blair![/quote]

That doesn’t make sense. You can run the NPC before applying and also back out of ED if you can’t afford it. [/quote]

Not everyone can afford what the NPC states you should be able to afford.  You just can't back out of ED because you can't afford what the NPC states so if in that situation ED wont work for your family

You wouldn’t be able to afford it in RD either. So you would need to pick a different school either way. [/quote]

You found get merit or a scholarship…so one might afford it in RD. [/quote]
