CPS will release high school offers for any programs applied to via the GoCPS applications (SEHS & Choice Programs) as follows:
- MARCH 24th, 2023 – Results Released
- APRIL 14th, 2023 – Accept/Decline Deadline
- APRIL 24th, 2023 – Rolling Waitlist Process Opens
- 2 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER OFFER ISSUED – Waitlist Accept/Decline Deadline
Please feel free to post results to share. Applicants may be offered ONE school per application type (one Selective Enrollment HS offer and one Choice offer) and their neighborhood school is always available for them to attend at any time. Those currently enrolled at a school that includes a HS can also continue to stay at their current school.
If you are commenting about SEHS offers, please include your Tier, 900 pt total, and what order the school was ranked on your application. If you applied to Choice high schools as well, please include your child’s offer, point total (if applicable) and order it was ranked. Good luck!
Here is a slidedeck on “Selections Process Explained”
Cutoff scores for SEHS and Choice programs will be posted here after 3/24/23. Guide to Understanding Rankings & Cutoff Scores is HERE.

I know it says results at 5pm, but they usually post sooner, right? Anyone know when they heard last year? I’m afraid I’ll be refreshing all day long!
-
It is a tough day to wait! Last year some results popped up around 3:30pm, but then they disappeared about 15 minutes later and it reverted to looking like applications hadn’t even been submitted. It was even more stressful! Right around 5pm it all was pushed out. So honestly, I would just wait until 5 and find a way to distract yourself until then.

-
Do they post the 2023-24 Cut off scores at 5 pm too?
-
Best of luck to all the applicants!
-
Sorry if this is a silly question – will results be sent today for Academic Centers (7th graders) too? Technically, that’s a high school program but I can’t find any other information about dates for that program.
Thank you!

The cps website says that AC results will come out with the elementary results on April 21st at 5pm.

Offers are up…
-
Offers are out, but are they accurate? Says waitlisted att all the SEHS which could be possible (973, tier 4), but also waitlisted at LPHS MYP/Double Honors? That doesn’t seem very likely
-
Typo 873, not 973!
-
and now it says ‘offered’ at LPHS…looks like results are out, but not fully accurate…still being updated

Wow those cut scores must have gone way up!
-
Seriously…does anyone know when CPS discloses the cut-off scores for this yr?
-
-
saw an offer we don’t want around 4:10pm. now it’s gray out again 😂
-
Seeing glitches on my end too. We got an offer at Northside and when we went to accept they offer page disappeared.
-
Offered 1st Choice Whitney Young, Tier 3 – 878 pts
Offered Jones Pre-Engineering CTE, 584 pts
Likely accepting WY!
-
1st choice offer Payton, Tier 2 900
-
Results are looking official at this point and we’re able to access the page for accepting offers.
Offered 1st choices at Northside and Taft IB. Tier 3, 895 total points. Will likely accept Northside.
-
So happy for your kid! 🙂

Thank you, @ChicagoMom!

Does anyone know how large the waitlist is? Or how deep they pull?
My 8th grader received waitlist spots of 11, 8, and 11, for the 3 selective enrollment schools she signed up for, in order of preference. She is Tier-4, 884.
-
-
So, if I’m reading this document correctly, if my child scored 884, Tier 4 and is on the “waitlist” for WY, she won’t get an offer even if capacity is available, since the posted, minimum cut score for our tier is 893 – https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CWtq__njAyleDHJ-d4nyStpyLHJfj10m/view
Are waitlist numbers given in selective enrollment meaningless?
-
The WY 893 is just the lowest score of the kids admitted in that tier as of now. It’s not an absolute cut off. Once acceptances are sorted out, they will fill open spots with kids scoring below 893.
-
Last year, the SEHS did not do a second round of offers.
-

-
does anyone know what waitlist number 1 Tier 4 means on the gocps on the offered status?
-
I bet that this means your kid has a good chance of getting an offer, after the dust settles; I imagine some waitlist numbers are very high.
-
ok, but does that mean that she is number 1 on the waitlist???
-
yes, it means #1. This year the “2nd round” is being replaced with a rolling waitlist. So I would think you’re basically in at #1. Good luck!

if i’m offered a seat , am i still in waitlist for a higher ranked school? or i have to reject the offer to be waitlisted?
-
no
-
Have the same question. I have an initial offer from Northside .
payton was my first choice. Do I have any way of getting into the waitlist for Payton.
-
-
Im in tier 4 with 884 points. I got waitlisted 5 for Lane Tech and 9 for Northside. How high is the chance of me getting in?
-
if you accept an offer from an SEHS, you cannot be in the waitlist for another SEHS. This is an advantage for kids who are considering a private school as well. You can decline your SEHS offer and be put on the waitlist. If you are a kid who needs to go to public school, you pretty much have to accept your first SEHS offer. Also, the SEHS schools factor into acceptances that a certain amount of students won’t accept. Accordingly, one person declining an offer does not mean a person from the waitlist gets an offer. Rather, only if more kids decline than expected does an offer open for the waitlist.

Some helpful GoCPS 2023-2024 PDFs (from HS Resources/Guides):

Given the scenerio below, I just wanted to make sure I understand this correctly:
My child is on a high school waitlist for his 1st choice and is #4 in line.
Received a score of 15.
Cut off score is 17.
Does this mean that even if the waitlist eventually rolls to #4, my child will still not be able to receive an offer because he did not make the cutoff?
I don’t completely understand if an offer requires that he meets *both* the Cutoff and the Waitlist requirement.
-
The cut score is just the lowest score that received an offer. If you had to satisfy the cut score to get a waitlist offer, you’d either have to be someone who lost a tiebreaker or someone who declined a previous offer and added to yourself to the waitlist once it opened. Waitlists would be super super short if that were the case, and the schools that need to use them to fill seats in round 2 would never fill up. You’ll be able to receive a waitlist offer even if your score is lower than the published cut score, but only if the school has space to fill.
-
Thank you so much for your insight!
Do you happen to know if principal discretion could fill spots as a priority over waitlists?
-
SEHS will fill seats through PD — that’s guaranteed. Each SEHS has reserved a certain number of seats to offer via PD. I think it’s something like 5% of the incoming freshman class? By contrast, there is no guarantee that schools will make offers off of their waitlists. That will only happen if a program is positioned to be underenrolled based on the number of initial offers that were accepted.

Can someone explain what wait-list 5 Tier 4 means? Thanks.
-
You are #5 on the Tier 4 waitlist. This means that 5 kids in Tier 4 would have to decline their offers in order for you to get an offer.
-
-
Do acceptances and everything disappear at the 5 pm deadline? I took screenshots just in case but the blank screen made me nervous.
-
I completely missed the dates as I was out of town. Is there any change I can view the results and accept the offers? Please let me know.
-
@Priyanka If you didn’t accept the offer by the 5pm deadline (or whatever the deadline was), you need to call OAE immediately. There are no guarantees that your child will get the spot but they should be able to help you.
