[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - My niece and nephew went through the program. Both went onto UMCP and now are each respectively in graduate school in in-demand fields.

The snobby subtext the PP either espouses or alludes to is it’s widely looked down upon by wealthier schools as a program for poor kids. This isn't true - my brother and SIL are well off -but MoCo folks like to keep people who deviate from the academic norm in check if they aren’t at a W school. That stigma keeps kids out of the program. [/quote]

Know two kids at our W school who did this both UMC. We only know one of them well enough but the child did go to a very good 4-year private college afterwards. What the two of the kid had in common is that they were highly self-motivated, mature, bored in high school and not heavily involved in school extracurriculars and had moved beyond the high school "scene."
I think the program can be a fit for a lot of different types of kids and this is just one of them. I can also see how if you're already set on a specific career path that having access to more specialized classes earlier could be appealing.[/quote]
