If Gateway uses a lottery to enroll students, why does Gateway require an application?
There are two main reasons Gateway requires an application: first, as a school of choice, Gateway wants to ensure that you will use the application process as a way to decide if Gateway is the right school for you. By visiting the school, reading our materials and responding to the questions we ask, you’ll get a good sense of what makes Gateway unique and what you can expect to find if you come. Second, we use the application to help us, if you do enroll, get to know you right away, plan your schedule accordingly and in general, help you to make as smooth a transition to a new school as you can.
