Admissions Update!
We
are no longer accepting applications for the 2010-2011 school year.
Please check back next September for more information for the
2011-2012 school year.
*************************************************************
How To Apply.
BHSEC is a public,
non-specialized, and screened high school / early
college. To learn more about our screening process,
please
review our admissions requirements.
Eighth grade applicants
who are interested in our program must fill out
the NYC Department of Education (DOE) High School Form. Please
ask your guidance counselor for this form. For students in
private or parochial schools please speak to your child's current
principal to obtain a DOE application. You may
rank 12 non-specialized programs / schools on the DOE High
School Form in addition to the specialized and audition high schools
(Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing
Arts, Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Technical High School,
High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering at City College,
High School of American Studies at Lehman College, Queens High School
for the Sciences at York College, and Stuyvesant High School). Please
note that if you are applying to both programs (BHSEC Manhattan and
BHSEC Queens) you
must list them as two separate choices. High schools will have no
way of knowing the students' priority order. However, it is still very
important that the students review their program / school choices and
carefully prioritize their high school list. We strongly recommend that
students seek advice from their guidance counselors and review
the NYC High School Directory before ranking programs.
The new system will
"match" students and program / schools:
a student will be matched to only the highest choice
school which also accepted that student to its program.
Thus, students will not be notified of their acceptance
or denial to all 12 schools; they will only know
about their highest choice school to which they
have been "matched." For more information
on the DOE high school admission process, please
click here.
Middle school guidance
counselors will distribute the DOE High School Form
when it becomes available in the winter. With the
help of parents and guidance counselor students
must fill out this application and rank BHSEC as
one of their non-specialized school choices.
We will consider
all qualified students regardless of where they
rank us. However, if a student is serious about
applying to BHSEC, we encourage her or him to place
BHSEC at the top of her or his DOE priority list.
It is also important that you meet the DOE’s
admissions deadlines. BHSEC cannot consider
any student for admissions who does not apply through
the DOE and satisfies its application guidelines.
A copy of the 7th
grade report card and the academic reference
(optional) are due on the date students are scheduled for the writing
and math assessment. You may mail the optional academic
references to BHSEC as long as we receive them by November 9th,
2009.
Students will be
invited to interview at Bard High School Early College
based on the results of the assessment, academic
records, and academic references. Not all students
will be asked to interview at BHSEC. We will contact
students by email if they are eligible for an interview.
This is the final stage in the admission process.
