Eastern IB program.


That's my backup plan for sure. And I suspect I'm not the only one.


The IB program there is very good. I think Banneker is better but oh well.

Also put dci, Latin, and Basis on your list. They take very few people but who knows?


Which IB courses does Eastern offer?

I wouldn't be surprised if the school holds additional interviews for a variety of reasons, but the vast majority of invites should be out. So not hearing by now is probably not good news. I'm sorry.


Interviews after 2/25 were a possibility before the first round of interviews. This was stated in a meeting.

Between this and problems with SWS recommendations, this whole process is such a mess.

2/25 is not the last for Banneker. Not sure about McKinley.
