[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I never understand this "Blair is a nightmare for people to get to" argument. Is it one of those It's So Crowded, Nobody Goes There Anymore things? Or are people who say it, really saying, "I think the program should be in Bethesda, where I live?" Or what?[/quote]

Blair is next to the beltway in one of the densest parts of the county. Sure, it isn't convenient for people who chose to live in Potomac, but that's pretty far out there for most of us. I've also read that the largest group of kids in the program live in that area so  it works for them. :D[/quote]

Duh. It’s a moot offering for half the county due to terrible logistics. How many Churchill or Whitman or BCC or WJ or Wooten  kids even apply to Blair our if a 500 kid class each Hs?[/quote]

Churchill is a 20-minute drive from Blair according to Google Maps. Logistics aren't the problem.[/quote]

Google Maps says that Blair is a 16-minute ride from B-CC and 22 minutes from Whitman. [/quote]
