[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair is a strong program but niche, for STEM obviously but [b]majority pre-engineering.[/b] RMIB is better for kids who like STEM and humanities, and produces excellent analytical writers across disciplines. [b]Historically RMIB has had better college outcomes because Ivy+ schools prefer a broader liberal arts focus. [/b]Blair does better with MIT. Both are very competitive but [b]RMIB students are a little more chill[/b]. [b]Last year RMIB produced twice as many NMSF as Blair[/b]. This year it was reversed, Blair produced twice as many. So the cohorts vary too.[/quote]

This is all easy to verify. Although it's not true that there were twice as many RMIB NMSF last year as Blair, it is true there were more. [b]2024 29 RMIB, 21 Blair.[/b] 2025 there were more from Blair. It does vary.

As for college admissions, look at the college commitment websites from last year. You can draw your own conclusions. [/quote]
Wrong again. Did you actually verify before you posted?
Blair has better college admissions than any school in the state. 
Again, tell me you have no idea of what you're talking about without telling me you have no idea.[/quote]

Where are you getting these numbers? "2024 29 RMIB, 21 Blair. 2025 there were more from Blair."
I think the 2025 numbers come out in the fall?
In 2024 Blair had 45, RM 25. In 2023, Blair had 41, RM 29.
I think both schools are great, but facts are facts. Blair is the larger school. Not all of those kids are magnet students or IB students but most are from DC's year from eyeballing the list.
