How will I know if I have been accepted to LaGuardia Arts?
(AUD3)
Students will be officially contacted through their current school's guidance counselor. This generally takes place in February on a date established by the DOE. Your child's current guidance counselor will be able to provide the information when available. Please do not call LaGuardia Arts to inquire about individual results.

May parents accompany their children to the audition?
(AUD4)
Yes. Parents may accompany their children to the high school but cannot observe the actual audition. There is limited waiting area for parents. It is recommended that parents plan an activity in the area because the audition process requires approximately 3 hours.

May students audition for more than one studio major? (AUD6)
Yes. Students may audition for more than one studio. We recommend that the student bring a lunch if planning two auditions in one day. A student applying to more than two studios must audition on two separate days because a maximum of two auditions may be taken any one day.
