Update from the NYCPS Office of Student Enrollment (June 3, 2025):

High school waitlists will close on Friday, September 12, 2025. This means that after this date, families will no longer be able to add themselves to waitlists, and high schools will no longer be able to extend waitlist offers.

General Information:
