DD did not want to go to Blair because it is huge with around 2800 students. She chose Northwood (half the size) as her first choice and got in.

That may be true but I wonder if that is changing. I know a number of people who didn't put it as their top choice because it is enormous.

Why do you want your kid to go to Blair?

I'm 19:02 and my sister and I both went to Einstein. My sister's kids opted to follow their friends, if you are implying that they chose other schools based on Einstein reputation as a "bad" school.

My two nephews and niece all got their first choice in the DCC, which was not their home school. They were in 9th grade in 2009 and 2010, and went to Northwood and Blair (home school was Einstein).
