School Match NYC: The Admissions List That Shows Its Math
A modeling tool for NYC public high school applicants, estimating admission chances across 900+ programs and testing how a list holds up under different lottery numbers.
Field notes
Applicants provide their MySchools academic group and DIA, borough, interests, lottery number, and possibly a practice SHSAT score. The tool then assigns each program a percentage and range, models favorable and unfavorable lottery outcomes, and tests the overall list. Its stated dataset covers 943 programs for Fall 2025 entry, while school-composition data remains a 2021–22 DOE snapshot. Audition and essay programs are explicitly outside the model.
