Admission results and timetable for appeals Grade 11 SY 2023-2024

Admission decisions for Grade 11, SY 2023-2024 were released last April 28, 2023.  Each applicant may view the decision on his or her application by logging into his/her application account in the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School admission system.

Ateneo de Manila Senior High School is no longer accepting new applications from local applicants for Grade 11, SY 2023-2024.   Also, the school does not accept transferees in Grade 12; Grade 11 is the only entry point into ASHS. Application for Grade 11, SY 2024-25 will be in September, 2023.

Applicants for Grade 11 SY 2023-2024 who wish to make appeals must follow the instructions and timetables indicated per type of appeal below. 

A.  Appeals for a Change of Initial Strand

At present, all slots in all strands are filled up. Thus, applicants should confirm their slots in Grade 11 SY 2023-2024 based on the initially granted strand.

Accepted applicants may submit an appeal for a change of initial strand within the period of May 12 to 26, 2023.  Granting of appeals will depend on whether slots in the desired strand open up after all accepted applicants have confirmed their slots.  Provided that there are slots, the applicant’s A-SHAPE scores in pertinent subsections and the applicant’s grades in comparison with the appeals of the other applicants for the limited number of slots will all come into play.

Appeal letters should be written by the applicant and noted by the applicant’s parent or guardian.  Letters should be addressed to Mr. Noel P. Miranda, Principal, Ateneo de Manila Senior High School. Applicants must attach a copy of their latest available Grade 10 report card, along with the explanation of the grading system (numerical equivalents in case of a letter mark or descriptive grading system).

All appeal letters must be emailed to oas.ashs@ateneo.edu. Please indicate the following as the subject of your email:  Appeal for Change of Strand_Last Name of Applicant, Complete First Name (Current School). Please do not send appeal letters to any other email address nor send hard copies of the appeal to any office in Ateneo.

Decisions on appeals for a change of initial strand will be emailed to the applicant in early June, in time for enrollment on June 13-23, 2023.  (Note: the OAS only processes appeals for a change of initial strand, prior to enrollment. The APAcad handles appeals for change of strand of enrolled students.)

B.  Appeals for Admission:  Waitlisted Applicants

All appeals for admission from waitlisted applicants must be submitted through this Google Form: (go.ateneo.edu/SHSOASAdmWLAppealFormSY2324).  The Google form will accept responses starting May 12 and until May 31, 2023.  

At this time, slots may no longer be available in the applicant’s most preferred strand.  Thus, the Google form will ask the applicants to list all the strands that they are open to, in order of preference. We hope that applicants will be open to being placed in our General Academic Strand, which is the only strand that allows them to choose electives from across all strands. As such, it gives them the option to take all electives in their most desired strand or to explore a wide range of interests from different strands. The GA strand is flexible enough to give adequate preparation for any course in college.

Before filling out the Google form, applicants are asked to prepare the following documents and save them in their Google drive. The link to these documents will be uploaded in the Google form:

1)  An appeal letter stating the reasons the application should be reconsidered.

The letter should be

●        addressed to Mr. Noel P. Miranda, Principal, Ateneo de Manila Senior High School,

●        written by the applicant,

●        noted/signed by the applicant’s parent(s), and

●        saved in PDF format

2)      A scanned copy of the student’s final (complete) Grade 10 report card along with the explanation of the grading system (e.g. numerical equivalents in case of a letter mark or descriptive grading system).  Please save the report card and explanation of the grading system as one PDF file.

As much as possible, applicants should wait for the release of their final Grade 10 report cards.  However, if the final report card will not be released by May 31, 2023, please upload the most updated report card available.

Waitlisted Applicants from Ateneo de Manila Junior High School must wait for the release of their final Grade 10 report card before submitting appeals. Appeals may be submitted as soon as the Grade 10 report card is released.  The deadline for appeals for admission is May 31, 2023.

In case any waitlisted applicant is asked to undergo summer remedial classes due to a failing grade in a particular subject, he or she must wait for his/her final report card incorporating the final mark(s) for the remedial class before filling up the Google Form.  Passing all subjects in Grade 10 is a prerequisite to being accepted upon appeal. Waitlisted applicants from Ateneo de Manila Junior High School who are required to take SRP may submit their appeal letters as soon as their final report card (incorporating SRP marks) is released.

The Google form is the only official portal for appeals. Only appeals uploaded in this portal will be processed.  Thus, please do not deliver hard copies of appeals to the SHS or email soft copies to the Principal’s or Admissions Office or any office in Ateneo. Those who do so will be asked to upload their appeals in the portal.

Decisions on all appeals from waitlisted status that are made from May 12-31, 2023 will be emailed to the applicants by June 13, in time for enrollment on June 13-23, 2023. Decisions on appeals from waitlisted students who need to take a remedial program will be emailed in July. 

C.  Appeals for Admission: Applicants who were not initially accepted

All appeals for admission from “not accepted” status must be submitted through this Google Form: (go.ateneo.edu/SHSOASAdmNAAppealFormSY2324).  The Google form will accept responses starting June 16 and until June 28, 2023.
