Q: How does the waitlist work?

Schools accept students based on a random lottery. Once a school’s seats are filled, applicants to the school are placed on a waitlist. If an opening comes up, schools make an offer to students on the waitlist.

Q: If my child is placed on a waitlist, what happens next?

If the school your child applied to has an opening, the school will contact you. You can check your child’s status at anytime by logging in to your account or calling the school directly.

Q: 2. Will I have to resubmit any applications I completed before June 1?

No. If you submitted an application prior to 8 pm on June 1, it will be transferred to the new platform, Avela, and accessible after 9 am on June 5.

Q: How do I check the waitlist status of my child?

You can login to your account to check the status, or call the school directly.

Q: 3. Will this interruption change my child’s waitlist status?

The move to the new platform will not change waitlist order.

Q: If my child is on a waitlist this year, do I have to apply again next year?

If your child is placed on a waitlist, you must re-apply the next year to be considered for enrollment. The only exception to this is Rochester Prep. Rochester Prep rolls over its waitlist each year and applying again is not necessary.

Q: Can I apply at any time during the year?

Yes, although the best time to apply for the next school year is by the lottery deadline (usually early April). Applying by the lottery gives you the best chance of the school having openings. Some schools have openings even after the lottery. Even if the lottery deadline has passed, you are encouraged to apply.
