Anyone with an eighth grade son applying to Ner?
Are they going to limit out of town spots since there are so many Baltimore eighth graders this year?
What are the timelines for farhers and acceptance’s?
Do they priorities families that have sent to the Bais Medrash?

They don't limit out of town to prioritize local boys. Their proportion is usually the same year after year.
It's been several years since we did it, but I think January through March was farhers/acceptances. We did ours the last week they had that year (end of February) because my son's bar mitzvah was in January and he had no problem getting in even though he was later. They generally have a feeling who they will accept even prior to farher.... Very important to have a rebbe speaking up on your behalf.
I don't think mechina acceptance has any correlation with BM attendance. It's different hanhala deciding. They may and probably do prioritize families with former Ner Yisroel background in general though. But I know many bochurim who went without that.
