You would think the admin would give kids a few days to think about it, maybe the weekend. This is a huge decision. Some students may be on the fence and go to shadowing on Friday and have to make the decision by the end of the day.
The program is very rigorous. 98% of students earn IB diplomas. They also listed a sample of the schools (Ivy + top public universities) the Class of 2022 were attending but they do not break out which of those students actually were a part of the IB program.
WHOA! That's increiblde.
haha.

RM parent here. Our incoming 9th graders information night was in person. It is very strange that RMIB admitted students info session would be virtual only.

I have an admitted student, but they had an activity last night that precluded us logging on.
Any feedback from folks who attended and were on the fence?

Why'd they do it virtually only?

It was virtual so it was impossible to get a feel for the students and teachers.
