[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TLDR:

Parents of Blair kids say Blair is the better choice, including for college admissions, and say that RMIB is a pressure cooker bad environment.
Parents of RMIB kids say that RMIB is a better choice for their kid because of the writing focus and curriculum and that the cohort is very supportive.

Yes, you've captured it.[/quote]

Except that RMIB also claims better choice for college admissions. Reported early admits so far include Chicago(x2), Northwestern, Cornell, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, Duke. Definitely solid results. I think it helps that RM kids are a mix of humanities and STEM focus, vs. all STEM focus. It's easier for them to differentiate their applications. But kids aiming for MIT and Caltech should go to Blair. [/quote]

Oh you ruined it....

It isn't about WHICH school is better, but about the overall back-and-forth.  
And I think you are the first person on this thread to claim that RMIB is a better choice for college admissions.  As an RMIB parent myself, I think it is solid, and good for my kid.  But I don't claim overall admission odds are better than Blair.  There is no way to even make that determination...[/quote]
