[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP mentioned DD so my perspective here is specific to that because I have a DD in this program presently. Blair SMCS is more boys than girls and that does introduce some dynamics to be aware off. Just as in the real world, girls have to put in more effort to have their voice heard especially in STEM and it can be exhausting. The kids are all smart but the environment is very cliquey. Those in the clique will find it fun and social, those outside will not. Simple as that. Workload is intense but managable. You may have to sacrifice free time to "keep up with the Joneses" but that is par for the course for any program that has a lot of motivated, hard working kids. My DD has commented several times that if she could go back in time, she may have chosen RMIB over SMCS for a better social experience based on the feedback from her friends who ended up there. Grass is always greener on the other side but there might be some truth to this ; specifically for girls.[/quote]

I have a boy who has had a similar experience socially. He actually thinks the girls are more tight than the boys tbh.[/quote]
