Deadline to Accept or Decline Offers
The deadline for families to accept or decline offers is Friday, April 4th at 5pm. Please accept your offer preferably by next Friday, March 28th. As the system will inevitably be very busy during that last week. Offers will expire after this date. Only one offer can be accepted but decisions can be changed up until the accept/decline deadline. Accepting an offer will automatically decline all other offers that are open or previously accepted. Learn more about how to accept or decline offers.
Principal Discretion
Principal Discretion is the process that allows Selective Enrollment High School principals to fill a designated number of seats, outside of the regular selection process, based on information provided through Application Packages submitted by students.
The Principal Discretion application period for the 2024-2025 school year opens at 9 am Wednesday, March 19th and ends at 5 pm on April 4tth.
The Selective Enrollment High School Principal Discretion Handbook provides step-by-step instructions for submitting a Principal Discretion Application Package and contains the guidelines and requirements for the process.
PLEASE NOTE:
You can accept an offer and still apply to Principal Discretion. In fact, I highly recommend you accept an offer because there’s no guarantee that your child will be accepted via this application. Thus, if you decline an offer and don’t receive a principal discretion seat your child will only be able to attend their neighborhood school.
PLEASE NOTE:
None of us here at the school from Ms. Shelton or the other administrators, the teachers, nor myself can access your GoCPS accounts to accept/decline offers. The GoCPS help line is 773.553.2060
WAITLIST
The waitlist opens on April 21st. The way it works is if a school sends out 200 offers and all 200 people accept then they DO NOT have any available seats and WILL NOT need to go to the waitlist. However, if a school has sent out the same 200 offers and only 175 people accepted then they now go to the waitlist to fill those remaining 25 seats.
PLEASE NOTE: Waitlists are updated nightly and as students add themselves to available waitlists your number or position may go up or down. If you still want the chance to get an OFFER from a waitlist school NEVER remove yourself from the list. These lists will continue to update daily up until the 20th day of school in the fall.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at 773.534.4533
