Understanding Your Results

In the application portal for your magnet, year-round, or early college results, you will see one of the following for each of your choices:

Assigned - the applicant was selected and is assigned to this school
Applicant pool - the applicant was not selected for this school but is on a non-numeric waitlist called an applicant pool for this school since it was listed first on the application. The applicant could be selected later if seats become available.
Submitted - the applicant was not selected and is not in an applicant pool since this school was not listed first on the application.
