Connected applicants are siblings of current or former students, legacy (a parent or guardian matriculated at the school), children of current faculty or staff, active congregants of an affiliated religious institution, and/or children of current faculty/staff/students of an affiliated academic institution. Children enrolled in affiliated pre-2s programs at ISAAGNY schools also qualify for Early Notification to preschool; these families can be notified on the Early Notification date, but they cannot be required to reply prior to the regular reply date.
Member schools may choose to extend Early Notification to connected applicants. In doing so, they (1) may choose to narrow the aforementioned qualifiers, but may not expand on it, and (2) will adhere to the Early Notification opt-in, file completion, notification, and reply dates as stated each year.
Member schools must equally consider applications from connected applicants, regardless of whether an applicant has designated the connected school as a priority.
