After you submit an application for an Eastland-Fairfield program, your application will be reviewed by our admissions team and given one of three designations. Your application's designation and how many applications are received for your first-choice program will determine the next phase of the process.

The student has earned, or is on pace to earn, eight (8) core credits and ten (10) total credits by the end of their sophomore year.

If the total number of applicants does not exceed the total number of available seats, the student will be accepted.

If the total number of applicants exceeds the total number of available seats (termed "oversubscribed"), the student will be placed in a lottery. A randomized lottery will determine the students that will be accepted. If the student is not selected through the lottery, they will be added to a waitlist for further consideration.

The student has earned, or is on pace to earn, six (6) or seven (7) core credits by the end of their sophomore year.

If seats are available, the student's application will be considered after Direct Admits (see above).

If the program is oversubscribed (total number of applicants exceeds the number of available seats), the student will enter a lottery and are placed on the waitlist below students designated as Direct Admits.

The student has earned, or is on pace to earn, less than six (6) core credits by the end of their sophomore year.

The student must recover those credits and notify EFCTS for their application to be re-evaluated.

A core credit are credits that are earned in the areas of English/Language Arts (ELA), Social Studies, Math, and Science.
