A series of updates are coming to the city’s public school application process, officials said Friday.

The Department of Education is removing district requirements for middle schools so students can apply citywide, Mayor Eric Adams and Schools Chancellor David Banks said in a news release.

The middle school application process will still give preference to district students, Adams noted.

The DOE will also start allowing students to apply to an unlimited number of high schools, the release said. Previously, students could only list 12 application choices.

High school applicants will now be able to use a feature in MySchools — the city’s public school application and enrollment hub — that shows them whether they have a “high,” “medium” or “low” chance of getting an offer to attend a given school, according to the release.

The designations will be based on “admissions characteristics like district or borough, grades, priority group, and the school’s admissions method, such as whether the admission is open or screened,” the release said.

The release also noted that those designations will not apply to school programs with additional requirements like auditions or assessments.

“In these cases, families will see a different icon and an explanation of why their chances cannot be shown for this program,” the release said, adding that the tool “is meant to be a guide and resource for families as they navigate the admissions process and should not be considered a pre-determined outcome.”

In a statement, Adams said the changes will “expand access and increase equity across our public school system.”

“Improving educational choice for New York City students is a key part of our mission to make our city a better place to live for New York families, and we are continuing to deliver on this mission,” he said.

The updates come as a new schools chancellor is set to take over in January. Banks earlier this week said he would retire from his position at the end of the year.

In his own statement about the admissions changes, Banks said they would “make the admissions process easier for families.”

“I am thrilled that we've improved our enrollment processes and policies in response to direct feedback from our school communities, and I look forward to continuing to support our students as they embark on their unique learning journeys,” he added.
