Subject: Blair magnet and RMIB - how have EA/ED gone?
I find it weird how there never seems to be any real information about where Blair SMCS kids go to college, while most of the other schools have instagram pages and RMIB even has a document I’ve seen on previous threads that summarizes admits. Why is Blair SMCS so closed up about it? I know many of the kids go to UM but really would be good to know. It’s a really strong cohort of kids and some realistic expectation setting would be helpful, considering how much kids can’t help but compare themselves to their peers.

there aren’t any posted northeastern commits from RMIB yet, just non-IB. there was one to northwestern, however, if that’s what you’re referring to.

My kid is a senior so I already knew this info but I don’t blame other people for looking at it. We looked at admit info when trying to decide between RMIB and our home school and also in thinking about where to apply this year. It wasn’t the deciding factor for either question but it was relevant data.

You are a grown adult person. Why are you stalking Instagram for high school students?

Looking at an Instagram page is not stalking. But good try.
Obsessively checking to see where other people's children got into college is not *quite* stalking. But it's one of those "only in the DMV" things that make me shake my head.
I'm sure lots of high schools across the country have Instagram pages, and kids themselves seem to like promoting their college process on social media. But again. You are a grown adult person. Right? Why do you care which kids from a high school your child does not attend got into a school that your child also does not attend. Or, if they do attend it, this seems like something most people would be happy finding out later by happenstance, like in an orientation group, or a parents or students listserve.
Not PP, but your use of the word "obsessively" is unsupported.
Looking for information from sources on the internet to inform future planning or even just out of simple curiosity is a perfectly acceptable.
How do you know OP's child does not go to one of the schools they are seeking information about?
How do you know OP is not thinking about options on where might be the best place to send her kid to high school?
You might think that is doing to much, and you do you. But it is far from anything like stalking...

My Sr RMIB kid said there were:
1 NYU admit
1 Barnard admit
1 Brown deferral
2 or 3 Brown rejects
1 Swarthmore deferral
1 Yale reject
I think it’s a tough year.

FYI the RM page is not just for the IB kids and I think it is missing a couple. Not everyone posts.

I don't know about RMIB but the two Ivy admits today from my child's friends were Blair CAP and Wheaton Engineering. That doesn't mean there weren't more, obviously, but those are the two they heard about.
