I remember that there was a post on this forum last fall about how CAP students are disadvantaged in admissions but this seems to include a lot of good schools.

True. That kid has a parent on the UMD faculty, so 4 years of free tuition was too irresistible to pass up, though I am sure it was hard as hell to say no to Penn.

Weird to post specifics. I know that family as well...

Definitely encouraging to see. My DD is entering CAP in the fall and has a strong interest in pursuing digital animation. Hopefully there will be opportunities for her at Blair.

In addition to the ones going on to HBCU's, 2 black CAP students in this class earned full-ride scholarships to LAC's, and another got a full-tuition scholarship to USC.

Two to Stanford is very impressive!
Great job CAP!

Seems like a solid list

I was the requester from the other thread, so thank you!

They typically have several kids going to Michigan or Wisconsin. Unusual year

Not one to UMBC?
