Important Dates
All Choice and Career Academy programs require a Choice application and selection through a Choice lottery process. These programs are available to all students, regardless of zoning. If the student is applying for a Choice program that is offered at his/her zoned school, the zoned school program may be listed as the first choice.
Results for the 2026-2027 Choice Program lottery will be released after 4pm on April 2, 2026.
Late Choice Application (March 30, 2026 to May 1, 2026)
If you missed the on-time deadline, a late application window will be available for students who have not yet submitted a Choice application for the 2026-2027 school year.
The Late Choice Application for the 2026-2027 will be available on March 30, 2026. Visit www.mypbchoiceapp.com for more information.
Late applications are not included in the March lottery. Once submitted, each late application is reviewed for program eligibility. All eligible late applicants are then placed in the waitpool for their selected program(s). They will only be considered for an assignment after all on-time applicants in the waitpool have been accommodated.
For programs requiring an audition, language assessment, or other special eligibility criteria, late applicants will only be invited to test or audition under very limited circumstances. This will only occur if the waitpool of all eligible on-time applicants has been exhausted, and there are still open seats in the program.
