[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i know many people thought the years that have gotten into RMIB, CAP and Stem at Blair. [/quote]
It's rare but it happens. CAP is much more selective than many of the other regional magnets.[/quote]

Not rare at all. My DC and quite a few of her other friends are in that category [/quote]
I call BS on "quite a few" of those friends.[/quote]

I'm not the PP and can confirm this is a pretty normal occurence. Within my child's peer group, I'm aware of four kids deciding between CAP and RMIB. A few of them have other admissions in the mix, one for Blair SMCS and a few (including my kid) for other more STEM-focused programs.

But if the broader point is that CAP is not "test-in" because there's not one test that determines admissions, I guess that's true. It's true of every other magnet program in the county, however. MCPS uses the description "criteria-based" so if folks prefer that nomenclature, so be it.

At any rate, congrats to all of the kids who were admitted. It seems like a great program, and a high calibre of students based on those who presented last night. Given my child's specific interests (including a desire to study in our family's home country), I think they will be accepting RMIB over CAP, but that's just personal circumstances rather than a sense that CAP is anything but excellent.
