Rank programs in order of preference. Please note the following:
- Families can list Kindergarten AND gifted and talented programs on the SAME application. Read a message from NYC DOE Admissions Team .
- Any family who lists a G&T program anywhere on their application will then be considered for eligibility. Visit this webpage to learn about eligibility for Fall 2023.

- Schools will know who received offers to general Kindergarten and G&T programs at their school at the same time in April.
