[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really hard to get into Blair
[/quote]

Blair is like MIT, TJ is like Maryland University.[/quote]

Haha. Guess again. TJ grads are highly coveted at colleges and at employers. Plus there are more if them, which helps with networking, mentoring, representing the brand.  And, as you already noted, it is not a sub scale in size program like the Balir magnet. Nor located in some corner of the county in a traffic nightmare for 2/3s the students to get to.[/quote]

It is not really a traffic nightmare.  It is right off the beltway so no local stop and go.  School starts before the peak of rush hour and most of the busses are going East on the Beltway which is against traffic in the am.  The busses also use the HOV lanes on 270.  Our bus (from Wooten area) is longer than it would be in our neighborhood but traffic is not typically a huge issue.[/quote]

And then there is 3pm to 7pm gridlock, which we all know is awful for anyone let alone a busy Hs kid. Care to comment on the other half of a daily commute?[/quote]
