REMINDERS

• The School Choice application is NOT first-come, first-served. You will not receive any lottery or placement advantage based on when (within the application window) you apply. 

• RANKING CHOICES: The order of the schools or programs you select and submit on your School Choice application does NOT impact lotteries, placement, or seat offers (except for SOA applicants applying to two arts areas; they are required to rank order their art major preference). 

• SCHOOL REGISTRATION: Applying through School Choice is different than registering for school. Registration and residency verification will be conducted in the spring through a different system (PowerSchool). See information on Registration here.
