[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can RMIB keep a portion of the seats for home school applicants only like the middle school magnet programs? [/quote]

I can tell you about Clemente Middle School.  There is not a portion of seats for home school applicants, instead there are additional seats in the programs for them. For example, in Roberto Clemente MS, 50 seats each are available for the two programs for outside candidates and then there are additional seats that are seperate for  RCMS candidates.  [b]However, these seats are filled by qualified Clemente students  who go through the magnet application process and qualify for the magnet programs. These students rightfully belong in the magnet programs and can thrive in the rigor of the program. [/b]  The 50 seats per program is what is advertised and is available for the outside students.  The lure of the  additional seats  actually results in a number of people with high achieving students  moving into this area.

What does that mean for admissions? Lets say there is a top candidate for the Clemente Humanities program who came in through the application process.  Once that person is selected , the admissions committee will assign a space for that candidate from either the 50 seats or from the Clemente seats, depending on their address.   I am assuming the same goes for waitlists.
