[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids (and families) should not make a decision on whether to attend a magnet solely on whether they think it will get them into an ivy or any other selective school.  You should choose magnet if you want your kid to learn the material, be with a like-minded cohort, and if you want them to have a magnet high school experience.  Attending a magnet is not a free ticket to college. [/quote]

OP here.  I completely agree but just wanted to make people aware of this.  I see many magnet parents surprised with this come senior year.  [/quote]

I find this surprising for Blair SMCS since Ostrander says this repeatedly, beginning with the 8th grade info session before they even apply. I guess people just don’t believe him?[/quote]
Tell that to the parent of the kid over on the College forum whose kid just got rejected from UMD with a 1540 SAT and 4.7 WGPA [/quote]

From Blair SMCS? When did UMD become that competitive?[/quote]

I just question that post. DS is at Blair, not magnet, and was accepted at UMD.[/quote]

What major? How much merit??

I don't get the entitlement that rich families expect merit.[/quote]
