I read that there’s a round 2 application process for Choice schools after round 1 closes. However, is there no round 2 application process for selective enrollment schools/programs?
thank you. -
That is correct. SEHS have principles discretion but no second round.

Last year King, Lindblom and South Shore were the only SEHS schools who did not fill their freshman class with acceptances in Round 1, so they were on a Round 2 application. If a student enters Round 2, they are acknowledging that should they get offered the Round 2 school, they will forfeit any acceptance they made in Round 1, so it should only be entered to if there is a school they want to attend more than a Round 1 offer.
This is from: https://go.cps.edu/high-school/selection
“Students may want to participate in the Second Round Application process if
- students are not satisfied with their first-round offer,
- students did not receive a first-round offer, or
- students did not participate in the first round
An application window will be opened after the Round 1 application acceptance deadline and will include only programs that still have remaining seats after Round 1 is complete. Students will complete the application through the GoCPS online portal just as they did in Round 1. When completing the application, students will also have the opportunity to sign up for the CPS High School Admissions Exam. If students had already taken the exam for Round 1, they will not need/be able to test again.
Families can accept a Round 1 offer and still participate in Round 2. However, if the student receives a second-round offer, they will automatically forfeit their Round 1 offer. Because of this, families are cautioned to only apply to programs in Round 2 that they would prefer more than the Round 1 offer they accepted.
Offers for Round 2 will be released in the same way as Round 1. See the homepage for the Round 2 timeline.”
