Updates to this year's high school application process.

Chances of offer feature in the HS application:
- Beginning this fall, high school applicants will have access to a new feature in MySchools that helps them better understand their chance of getting an offer to a program.
- For each program, students will see an icon indicating whether they have a high, medium, or low chance of receiving an offer, based on the applicant’s admissions characteristics like grades, priority group, etc. 
- We have more detailed information about this on the chance of an offer webpage.
No limit to application choices: 
- As of this upcoming admissions cycle, students across all grades will now be able to list any number of application choices, an expansion of the original twelve.
- A complete high school application lists twelve high school options. If there are additional programs a family is interested in, they may add them to their application as a thirteenth choice, fourteenth choice, and so on.
