1. • If you used MySchools to apply to schools in the past, your account is still active. You can log in using the same email address used then.

   • If you do not have an active account, you will need a unique account creation code to access your child’s high school application. This is printed on your child’s welcome letter, which you can get from their school counselor.

Updates to this year's high school application process. 

• Chances of offer feature in the HS application: 

  • Beginning this fall, high school applicants will have access to a new feature in MySchools that helps them better understand their chance of getting an offer to a program. 

  • For each program, students will see an icon indicating whether they have a high, medium, or low chance of receiving an offer, based on the applicant’s admissions characteristics like grades, priority group, etc. 

  • We have more detailed information about this on the chance of an offer webpage.

• No limit to application choices: 

  • As of this upcoming admissions cycle, students across all grades will now be able to list any number of application choices, an expansion of the original twelve.

  • A complete high school application lists twelve high school options. If there are additional programs a family is interested in, they may add them to their application as a thirteenth choice, fourteenth choice, and so on.
