Still unhappy with your high school result and considering an appeal?
Here are eight of the most important things you should know before submitting an appeal:
1. You must have a high school match. If you have not received a match yet and are waiting for round 2 results, you will be able to appeal after round 2.
2. Anyone can appeal to any program. That’s right, any program, but you only have up to 3 choices to make. And be sure to read below for more important information.
3. The reason for the appeal is critical. If you are simply appealing because you didn’t get what you wanted, that is generally not considered a strong appeal. The strongest reasons are for hardships like travel, safety, special needs, or medical.
4. Even if your appeal is granted, it will probably not be granted to a program you already applied to. In most cases, if you didn’t get matched to a particular program in round 1 or 2, you won’t get in through appeals. But…
5. …you have nothing to lose by appealing. However, be careful what you indicate on the appeal form, and be careful what you ask for. If your appeal can’t be granted to one of your choices, you may be placed somewhere else if you allow it. And if it is granted, that decision is considered final.
6. You can’t appeal into a specialized high school.
7. Many appeals are granted, but the majority are not.
8. Meet the deadline. Any appeal submitted after the deadline will most likely not be considered.
Like much of the process, I highly suggest getting expert advice before submitting any appeal – from your counselor or someone else who truly knows the process well.
Good luck!
Hi, I received my high school application and I was not satisfied with my placement. I did a round 2 and the same school came back to me. I didn’t know that I could do an appeal until yesterday. And I’m wondering if it’s too late to do an appeal and if it is too late, is it possible that I an still do it late and it beings able to be considered?
The deadline for submitting an appeal has passed, but we suggest that you please see your school counselor to ask about your questions and concerns.
Hii, I would like to know when are the appeal rounds results going to be released and where shall I go to see mine. Thank you pls reply
When are High school appeals back?
Hello, I did not like the school I got accepted to in round 1, therefore I went for round 2. I don’t like my match either due to the fact that they don’t offer advanced academic classes. Would this be a good reason to appeal for? Please let me know asap.
Thanks for writing. Without knowing much more about the situation, typically this is not considered a strong reason for an appeal. Having said that, appeals were due back to counselors last week, so we advise you to speak with your school counselor. Thanks again.
Hi my daughter wants to go for math and science high school but she got into English and social studies what do I need to do to get her into a different school. Thank you
If she got into a high school already and now you wish to appeal, please see your guidance counselor immediately. The deadline to submit an appeal has officially passed, but it’s worth asking!

Hi, I got my round 1 results and I was so excited to get into a high school I got the schools mixed up because they are very much alike with the names, I did round 2 after I found out for the High School I wished to attend but my round 2 didn’t go through because the school it didnt have enough space and I submitted it late. The week after I received an offer from a school I never applied to once. I was not happy so I’m deciding to do the appeal round, will this be a good reason?
Do you know the appeal result comes out
My son applied for 12 high schools and received zero offers. Honor roll student .Round 2 he received one offer and its a very poor performance school C Minus , graduation rate of 56% and NY POST did an article that school was listed as UNSAFE where 85% of the teachers said they didn’t feel safe. I have to file for an appeal but you cant say its a poor performance. How do you appeal it without a police report they want documents unless you are a transgender . That’s what the appeal letter says. What can I do besides pull my child out of school and home school them if I don’t get him into a decent school where kids actually graduate?? I’m not sending my son to a bad school .
Hi, I just appealed to a new school that i did not feel confertable in, when should I hear back from the Board of Education?
When does the appeal start?
Hi Maurice,
My son received a specialized and non-specialized offer in round 1, due to anxiety/travel issues neither is a great option for my child. However if we take the specialized offer now (after the round 1 offers) can we still do the appeals process for the non-specialized schools after round 2?
Also, can we independently do the appeals process ourselves or do we have to do through the school guidance counselor?
Hey for this year of appeals, when can you start appealing into a different high school and when is the appeal due?
My daughter got 4.06 in Math and 3.86 in ELA (7th grade NYS Test). Total average 97% in 2018, she is also a member of the honors society and yet she didn’t receive any offer from the High Schools of her choice “none whatsoever”. She was assigned to our zoned school that has no Honors classes, poor AP classes and no Arts. Would this be a good reason to appeal for? Thank you so much for your time and efforts
