Applying Online
Using the parent dashboard, your online account will allow you to track the status of your application. Applying online gives you priority access to the lottery results. Prior to applying for a Choice program, we encourage you to attend the Open House for each Choice program to which you intend to apply. Open House dates are available on each school’s website.
We strongly recommend that you do not wait until the last day to submit your
application. Late applications will not be accepted. The Department is required to enforce the established deadline to ensure fairness to all applicants. The time it takes to upload the supporting documents for your application will vary depending on a number of factors including the size of the files and speed of your internet connection. If you try to submit your application after 5:00PM Eastern Time on the deadline date, the SchoolMint system will not accept it.
