If you do not have a MySchools account, later this week you will receive a Welcome Letter from your child's school; this letter will have the information you need to create an account for your child. If you need any assistance, please reach out to your child’s counselor.
Tip! There’s no downside to submitting your application as soon as you’re ready! You can always go back and resubmit your application before the deadline.

Admissions methods are the ways that high school programs make offers to students; they also describe what you need to do to be considered for a program. There are two categories of admissions methods:
Programs where all you have to do is list the program on your application
- Educational Option (Ed. Opt.) These programs serve students at a range of academic levels. Based on the applicant’s grades, they will be categorized as “high, “middle” or “low”. No grades? The applicant will fall into the middle category.
- Open: Offers are made to students by their priority group (if applicable) and random number.
- Screened: Students are placed in groups according to their grades and considered in group order beginning with group 1. Learn more here: schools.nyc.gov/ScreenedHS
- Zoned: Students are considered for these programs based on address. Students may have either a guarantee or priority to attend. Enter your child’s home address using the school search site to determine if your child has a zoned program.
- Language Criteria: Programs admit students based on their entitlement to receive English Language Learner services and/or how many years the student has been residing in the United States.
Programs where you must also complete additional requirements to be considered
- Audition: The sole selection criteria is the audition score
- To apply, list program on your application in true preference order
- To be fully considered: complete and submit the virtual audition requirements by December 4.
- Screened with Assessment: Students are considered based on a weighted average unique to each program that combines the student grades and a separate assessment.
- To apply, list program on your application in true preference order
- To be fully considered: complete the assessment. Some assessments will be submitted through MySchools and some will be completed directly through the school. Requirements can be reviewed at schools.nyc.gov/AssessmentHS
