Specialized High Schools Application Process Applying to the Specialized High Schools Section3 u u u steps in the Application Process 1Step One: Contact Your Guidance Counselor. You should contact your school guidance counselor to indicate your intention to take the SHSAT and/or audition for LaGuardia High School. Step Two: Obtain a Test or Audition Ticket. 2 Prior to the testing/audition date, your school guidance counselor will provide you with a SHSAT Admission Ticket and/or a ticket for admission to the LaGuardia High School auditions. This ticket will indicate the location of the test/audition site, the date and time of the SHSAT/audition, your student ID number, and the school code number of your current school. If you have a conflict with the test date to which you have been assigned, inform your counselor immediately to arrange an alternate test date. Once Admission Tickets have been issued, students are expected to test on the date and time indicated on their ticket. Your test site is based on the location of your current school, not where you live. Students with special needs or approved 504 accommodations should check their Admission Ticket and make sure they are scheduled for the appropriate date (see page 9) with the appropriate accommodations. Inform your counselor immediately if there are any concerns. Step Three: Rank Your Choices (SHSAT 3 only). On the back of the Admission Ticket you will need to rank, in priority order, your choices for the Specialized High Schools to which you want to apply. You will need to submit your ranking of the Specialized High School(s) on the day of the test, and the ticket must be signed by your parent/guardian. You and your parent/guardian will need to determine the Specialized High School(s) for which you wish to be considered and the ranking order in which you will list them on your answer sheet. Students will be considered for admission to a Specialized High School based on choices made on the answer sheet and the score attained on the SHSAT. Please note the choices of schools made on the SHSAT answer sheet will only include the Specialized High Schools. Choices of other high school programs should be made on the High School Admissions Application. Consider the focus of the academic program, the size of the school, travel arrangements, as well as travel time. You may choose to apply to only one school, or you can choose to apply to as many as eight schools. To increase your chances of being offered a seat in one of the Specialized High Schools, you are encouraged to choose as many schools as possible that interest you; however, you should only list schools that you wish to attend if you are offered a seat. Once choices have been submitted on the day of the test, they may not be changed. Step Four: Complete and Submit Your 4 High School Admissions Application. In order for you to receive the result of your SHSAT or the result of your audition(s) at LaGuardia High School and to be considered for admission to a Specialized High School, you must complete and submit to your guidance counselor a New York City Public High School Admissions Application prior to the deadline of December 2, 2011. Please remember to fill in the appropriate bubbles on the application to indicate that you will take or have taken the SHSAT and/or are applying to one or more programs at LaGuardia High School. Additional information about the High School Admissions Process is online at www.nyc.gov/schools/ ChoicesEnrollment/High. u u u shsat testing procedures u Remember to bring your Admission Ticket with you to your assigned test site on the day of the test. It is important to arrive at the test site at the time indicated on your SHSAT Admission Ticket even though the test may not begin immediately after arrival. Students arriving without an Admission Ticket are not guaranteed admittance. Please be advised that your picture will be taken at the test site prior to the start of the test. u Before you begin the test, you will be asked to read and sign a statement indicating that you are a resident of New York City, are well enough to take the test, and are taking it at the appropriate grade level. Students who sign this statement but do not meet the requirements specified will be disqualified from acceptance to any of the Specialized High Schools. If you do not feel well, advise the test proctor immediately; do not begin the test, and do not sign the statement. Once you have begun the test, you may not —either then or at a later date—request a make-up test because of illness. SHSAT Students Please Note: If you believe there is interference or testing irregularity during any part of this test, you must bring the matter to the attention of the proctor immediately. This may include a misprinted test booklet, undue noise, or improper student behavior. The proctor will attempt to remedy the situation and take a written statement from you at the end of the test. If you suspect any proctoring or testing irregularities during the test administration, you must submit a letter about the situation to the Office of Student Enrollment, 52 Chambers Street, Room 415, New York, NY, 10007. This letter must be sent by certified mail with proof of delivery and postmarked no later than one week after the test administration. Letters postmarked after this will not be considered. 12
