It is possible if you have a child who is broadly talented at academics and likes to compete academically, or is not bothered by being around children who want to compete academically, then you might not consider BM an academic pressure cooker because it suits your child's tendencies. But I'm really not sure if it's possible to have a child going to BM or who has friends at BM and not be aware that it has a reputation for being academically intense and that some families seek it out for their daughters for that reason and other families avoid it for that reason.[/quote]

I don't think this has changed.  What I have found between BMS, Gilman, and RPCS, is that it is hard to enjoy all aspects of the school.  One kid loves the social environment but isn't great at academics, another loves the academics but hates the social scene.  This is what literally happened to my family and others that I know but I will say some of this may be related to being from being an outsider in Baltimore.  It is hard to find the right fit.[/quote]
