Is there an Early Application deadline?

What's the process for acceptance to Tech?

Step 1- Apply to Tech (Priority Deadline of December 19, 2024)

Complete an application online and watch your email for updates and notifications as it is initially processed.
Eligible applications received by the December 19 priority deadline will be guaranteed lottery consideration. Please review your program’s page for eligibility specifics.
Eligible applications received after December 19, 2024, at 4:00 pm, will be considered once the priority deadline list of students is exhausted. Those who apply between December 19 - March 13, 2025, will be considered in order of application.
The last day to apply is Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 4:00 pm. It's highly recommended to apply, though, by the priority deadline of December 19, 2024.

Step 2 - Student lottery selection (January 22, 2025)

All 2025 applicants who meet the prerequisites for their program will be included in our lottery if received by December 19, 2024.

Step 3 - “Pending - Documents Requested” Status or remain “Pending” Status email notifications are sent (Week of January 27, 2025)

After our randomized lottery selection, all applicants will receive a status notification email indicating they are “Pending - Documents Requested” or “Pending”
- “Pending- Documents Requested” means documents from your home high school (attendance, updated transcripts, etc) will be requested and reviewed to ensure any concerns regarding attendance, discipline, or needed supports are considered. Watch your email for updates and notifications as documents are processed.
- ”Pending” means your name was not selected in the initial randomized lottery selection. Selection is still possible, though, as documents are reviewed. You will be notified via email should your status change to “Pending - Documents Requested”.

Step 4 - Student “Acceptance” or “Waitlisted” Status email notifications (beginning March 4, 2025).

All accepted students will be notified of their acceptance status
”Waitlisted” means your program is now full. You will be notified via email and a phone call if space becomes available.
