    Pre-K Application Timeline
    TIMELINE
     
    I applied to MIMS. What happens next?
    If you apply to MIMS by February 23rd, 2024, you are considered a Phase I applicant.
    Lottery will be held by District on March 26th,2024.
     
    Kindergarten & 6th Grade Phase I applicants are chosen by lottery, with 25% of available spaces reserved for siblings of currently enrolled students (if a sibling is not drawn for one of the dedicated sibling spaces, they will be entered into the general lottery).
     
    Notification will be sent by both email (to the email address on file with the online application) and School Choice Parent Portal. Your child will either be offered provisional enrollment or you will be notified of your child's position on the waiting list. Enrollment is provisional based on successful completion of further steps, including accepting the position, submitting required documentation, and signing the magnet contract.
     
    Any applicants who submit applications after March 26th, 2024 are Phase II applicants. Due to the large number of Phase I applicants, it is not likely that Phase II applicants will be offered spaces. If all Phase I wait lists are exhausted and space is still available, they will be offered to Phase II applicants based on date of application.
     
    1st Grade Application will be based on the available space. MIMS will not know how many open spaces there are until closer to the start of the 2024 - 2025 academic year. If any spaces become available, offers will be sent according to the waitlist ranking.

    2nd grade through 5th,7th,8th grade applicants are required to take Mandarin Chinese proficiency screener test.  MIMS will not know how many open spaces there are until closer to the start of the 2024 - 2025 academic year. If any spaces become available, offers will be sent according to the waitlist ranking. Please click here for study material for the screener test.
