"So I applied to a magnet school. Now what happens?"
If you submitted your magnet application by the deadline, you should be receiving a letter this month to confirm that LAUSD has received your application. If any information needed to be corrected on this form, you will have the opportunity to correct it and resubmit.
Once this happens, THE WAIT BEGINS 
It is not until May that LAUSD will notify you of your acceptance or your placement on the waiting list! So watch the mail! Especially in May!
