[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People perception of Blair is a bit much. Its a great peer group but it isn't the end all-be all people make it out to be. Hell the avg honors dorm at just about any state university will easily exceed it for concentration of great students. [/quote]

Hell no. Can you easily nail an international STEM competition medalist in an average state university dorm for honor program? Blair has at least one camper every grade in the past 10 years or so, with a few more of comparable statistics.

But PP is correct that it isn't the end if you don't choose Blair or not get into Blair, especially if your home school is strong. The camper/medalist can reach that level not because of Blair but because of themselves. They could just leverage the fame of this program to get a better college offer, statistically speaking (there are always outlier cases). For the majority of the students that stay in the middle or bottom of the program, choosing your home school might give you similar or even better college admission results. This program can prepare your kids better at building a solid foundation for pursuing a STEM career though.  [/quote]
