If so, this list is quite impressive viz. TJ's list, considering they have between 480-490 in each year.


It's about 100 students, maybe slightly less as a few drop out along the way.

Thanks! On a per capita basis, Blair seems to be at least a head above TJ! I only wish MCPS had a whole school dedicated to SMAC magnet. That would really burnish MCPS's credentials.


If they went from 400 kids to 2000 kids, I would not expect the results to be the same.

Exactly. also I think it is nice to be in a regular high school and take half your classes with the comprehensive kids.

I believe this refers to a comment on a thread on the College board about Whitman senior destinations.

Does anyone have a list of the RMIB senior destinations?

Doesn't surprise me. STEM kids pursuing STEM careers. Will naturally gravitate toward strong tech schools and large research institutions with the firepower to be on the cutting-edge. I would expect the TJ college list to look very similar. I'm sure there's a much stronger representation of LAC's on the RMIB senior destination list.

This makes sense.
I think the SMAC kids are naturally drawn to the large research institutions.
I would not be surprised if the RMIB list while equally good looked different
