[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, remember that invited students does not equal enrolled students.  Maybe they gave 194 invitations, expecting 100-125 to accept.  Remember that people who get into RMIB may also get into programs like Blair SMAC and CAP.  In fact, my DD’s year, everyone we knew with the choice chose CAP, about 5 kids.  Of course, I’m sure lots made the opposite choice as well.

I hope you call RMIB and ask your question and report back.[/quote]
That makes  no sense. It's like airlines that over sell their seats thinking some people won't show. But what happens if they all show?  Similarly, what happens if all the invited students (200+ in some cases) decide to accept? That may never happen, but you could end up with more than 150 accepting, surely.

So the 125 can't be a hard number.[/quote]
OP here.. I found this.

[i]"Each year the school accepts approximately 125 students from a pool of over 900 applicants countywide. "[/i]

It says there are 125 seats, but doesn't give a breakdown of whether they set aside some seats for in cluster students.

The METIS report indicates there are 100 seats, though, but this was in 2013/2014.   I don't know if they up'd the numbers, or there are indeed 25 seats set aside for inbound students and METIS report didn't include these numbers.
