[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Wootton and Walter Johnson had more MIT acceptances each than Blair.[/quote]

Once again, for those of you in the back:  Half of the Blair magnet class goes to UMD-CP every year, and it's not because they cannot get into HYP and MIT.  It's because their families cannot afford to pay for those schools, and/or because they prefer to save their money for graduate or professional school.[/quote]

Cute story. But even here in the back of the class I can see that the stats don’t support your argument.

57 kids from Blair applied and 2 were accepted at MIT.

26 and 3 for Wootton and 17 and 3 for Walter Johnson.

It’s not that they weren’t applying - they didn’t get in.

Would you like to try again?[/quote]

[b]MIT does not take more than a few from a particular school regardless of how many apply.[/b]  Everyone knows getting in to top schools from Blair and RMIB is really hard because of the competition.[/quote]

+1[/quote]

They took 11 kids from Blair two years ago, so, please, try again.[/quote]
