[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair is a strong program but niche, for STEM obviously but [b]majority pre-engineering.[/b] RMIB is better for kids who like STEM and humanities, and produces excellent analytical writers across disciplines. [b]Historically RMIB has had better college outcomes because Ivy+ schools prefer a broader liberal arts focus. [/b]Blair does better with MIT. Both are very competitive but [b]RMIB students are a little more chill[/b]. [b]Last year RMIB produced twice as many NMSF as Blair[/b]. This year it was reversed, Blair produced twice as many. So the cohorts vary too.[/quote]

This is all easy to verify. Although it's not true that there were twice as many RMIB NMSF last year as Blair, it is true there were more. [b]2024 29 RMIB, 21 Blair.[/b] 2025 there were more from Blair. It does vary.

As for college admissions, look at the college commitment websites from last year. You can draw your own conclusions. [/quote]

Also incorrect. 
The public schools with the most semifinalists are Montgomery Blair (42), Richard Montgomery (24), Poolesville (21), Walter Johnson (15), Winston Churchill (10) and Walt Whitman (10).

RMIB is not the same as RM, and Blair also has CAP, and is a larger non magnet school, so one should be careful about comparing similar size and relatively homogenous populations.
