RM also has great results with students attending:

Yale 3
Stanford 2
Harvard 2
Brown 2
Princeton 3
Penn 4
Dartmouth 2
JHU 5
Duke 4
Cornell 6

Many other great schools as well. I know one student admitted to several schools above who chose an out of state school offering a full merit scholarship.

It’s too bad Blair and RM can’t continue these outstanding programs.

A lot of kids may choose affortable schools and UMD as its a great school. That doesn't mean results are dismal.

Results are freaking amazing! About 70-75% of magnet kids go to top schools.

Ostrander left after applications were submitted. Not that he would have an impact at that stage anyway

Not sure how Ostrander's departure would affect the admission. He left before applications started but the magnet coordinator doesn't have any role in the process. He is not a school counselor.

UChicago - 1
UMich- 1
Georgetown - 2
JHU - 1
Cornell - 3
Dartmouth - 2
MIT - 3

It’s a normal year, except for MIT and Harvard. Last year was an outlier.

Many. DC graduated from the program a couple of days ago and was able to identify where many of his cohort went to. They all did well.

Not as awesome as last year when there were 3 Harvard and 11 MIT admits

But I am curious about the reason for your interest. Do you have a kid in the program?

It saddens me that the Blair magnet will be winding down beginning in 2027, with the change to the Taylor regions.

The Instagram college acceptance page for Blair not that compelling. Might be that less kids listed their acceptances or may just be a bad year compared to others.

Ask SMCS seniors. They got some sort of the statistics after graduation ceremony.
