However, we will continue to\u00a0offer\u00a0seats to students on waiting lists as those vacancies open up throughout the spring, the summer, and the first week of the school year. &#8220;Waiting list&#8221; students will receive another automated email if\/when they receive an\u00a0offer\u00a0of\u00a0Placement.<\/p><p><strong>Late Applications<\/strong><\/p><p>Any student who did not apply during the priority application window (by December 4th, 2026) will have the opportunity to submit a late application on or after February 26th, 2027. They will be considered for any remaining open seats or for the waiting list for the program(s) they choose. Students who applied during the priority window should not apply again. Students applying on or after February 26th, 2027 can expect to receive an initial admissions decision within about three weeks of submitting their application.<\/p><p><strong>Application Assistance<\/strong><\/p><p>We are happy to help with any questions or to make modifications to an application such as contact information or choice of program.

The email address on your application is the only way that we will contact you, including sending your admissions results, so ensure that it is one you are checking regularly.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Essays:<\/strong><br \/>Be sure to carefully read the essay prompts. Essays are scored and the results comprise the majority of your overall application score. For the best score, make sure your response answers the prompt, is as detailed as possible, and meets the length requirements. Write your responses in English or whichever language is most comfortable for you to express yourself. Spelling and grammar are not scored, however, responses in complete sentences are preferred for ease of reading.<\/p><p>The first essay question is &#8220;What are your educational and career goals after high school and how will attending this Tech Center program help you achieve these goals?&#8221; You will answer this once. The second question is, &#8220;Consider your skills and strengths. What personal qualities and life experiences do you have that will help you succeed in your Tech program and chosen career path? In what ways do you explore this subject area? For example, you may have taken a related class, work or volunteer in a relevant role, or follow online content creators related to this career field.&#8221; You will need to answer this once for each program you select. Suggested length of essays is between 10-12 sentences.<\/p><p><strong>General Information:<\/strong><br \/>You may indicate interest in up to two programs of interest. You will be considered for each program independently of the other and may receive multiple placement offers and\/or waiting list offers, but ultimately you will be able to attend only one program per year. The Tech Center only serves high school students, so if you will graduate after completing the first year of a two-year program, you will not be able to continue for the second year of the program.<\/p><p><strong>Admissions Criteria:<\/strong><br \/>Applications are scored based on the student&#8217;s high school GPA (40% of overall score) and essay responses (60% of overall score), and admissions offers are made based on this score as well as representation across the sending high schools and homeschoolers. Very few programs have specific prerequisites: Advanced Biotechnology has a prerequisite of Biology 1; Precision Machining Technology requires a high school GPA of at least 2.0. Pharmacy Technician students must be 17 years by the first day of school, and Emergency Telecomm students must be 18 by June 15th. Please note if you are applying for Nurse Aide, you must have a passing grade, valid driver&#8217;s license, and Social Security Number to achieve the credentials for Nurse Aide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apply Applications for Chesterfield Tech Center open on Oct.1, 2026 and will close on Dec. 4, 2026.
