[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How will this work in terms of over crowding?  Lets say (all hypothetical) Whitman becomes a new regional IB school.  But Whitman is overcrowded and almost no one applies to the other schools in their region.  Does that mean only Whitman students can get a spot for IB?  (sort of like no one in the DCC can get a spot at Blair from other consortium schools)  Or does the admissions committee just accept who they want and figure out the space later?[/quote]

First of all, the IB program will almost certainly be at B-CC, which is already an IBDP school. I assume that the IB magnet would take something like 100 kids per year, selected from across the region based on merit. Then, other B-CC kids could choose to take the classes starting in 11th.

This is an established model at RMIB but also existing regional IB programs. [/quote]

But my question is what if BCC is over crowded?  Will they still take an additional 100 kids (x,4) or will spots for nonbBCC kids be limited due to space..  Whitman was purely a hypothetical example [/quote]
