[quote=Anonymous][quote]Point is a simple one. They don't go to Ivy league. Understood and clear.

They can go to a level below Ivy league. Assume that there are 50-70 seats a level below Ivy league which will be filled by RM graduates.

Do you think that having magnet decreases chance of non-IB students to grab those 50-70 seats? Do you think due to 100 magnet students coming from outside make it difficult for non-IB students to get seats a tier below Ivy?

I think the presence of the magnet makes it more difficult for every student at the school to get into any college that limits its offers of admission to just 2 or 3 per school. The Ivies certainly do that. I don't know about the next tier down private schools - don't follow admissions to them all. The presence of the magnet doesn't hurt students applying to top public universities - UMD, UVA, and other top universities take many students from RM. But from a big picture standpoint, the students in the home school population that don't choose the IB diploma program are probably not as strong academically as those that do, and have a harder time competing just from an academic standpoint.[/quote]
